League Play-Off

Firmount
Spectators: 38 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Rordan McJon took the kick off in the first half of the match. After 3 minutes, Brite McLian mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Firmount and the Briskil Utd players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 3rd match minute, Firmount was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Brite McLian to maneuver through the defense. Briskil Utd's Beglan McCready played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rordan McJon in the 4th minute of play. The crowd rose to their feet as Barney McCready kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Beglan McCready. That made the score 1-0 in the 9 minute of play. Beglan McCready took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Trevor McAlphie, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Torran McCollion fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 17th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Beglan McCready having to interfere. In the 20th minute, Bowie Rogers hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Blathmacc McLaughlin showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bree McPeter, who was totally free with the ball in the 21st minute. Firmount's Blathmacc McLaughlin played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Bree McPeter in the 22nd minute of play. Bradain Dempsey charged in rather forcefully in the 25th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Bradain Dempsey the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Bradain Dempsey kicked well hit freekick during the 25th minute of the match. In the 30th minute Bree McPeter shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Blathmacc McLaughlin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the match had gone on for 32 minutes, Rordan McJon took a quick shot and it went in 2-0 without a chance for Beglan McCready to make any attempt to save it. 36 minutes into the match, Bree McPeter had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Blathmacc McLaughlin. Firmount's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Bree McPeter was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. When Brite McLian was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 42 minutes had been played. After having played for 44 minutes, Rory Byrne managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Briskil Utd's supporters crossed their fingers, but Rory Byrne was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-1 at half-time.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Bree McPeter stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Bree McPeter scored 2-2 in the 55th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Blathmacc McLaughlin, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 60 minutes into the game, Branigan McNamee threw the ball into play from the sideline. Firmount's Breffni McJames quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. Rory Byrne kicked well hit freekick during the 61st minute of the match. 65 minutes into the match, Briskil Utd's goal looked a bit too open when Trevor McAlphie came free, but Beglan McCready reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Trevor McAlphie sent away a hard shot on goal in the 67th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. The audience was convinced that Rordan McJon's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Beglan McCready was relentless in the 78th minute of the game. If Torran McCollion had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Glenn McJames during the 86th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Glenn McJames hit a great freekick 86 minutes into the match. 87 minutes into the game, Rordan McJon cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-2. Beglan McCready was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After a rather tough play, Firmount's Breenan Doherty got a free kick in the 94th minute.
