A Team Matches Saturday 22nd May Championship Cup Final St Fillan's 5 - 0 St Monica's This was another tough match in
the bright sun with St Monica's denying St Fillan's in the first half. Although
we did sneak one (1 - 0). The second half started brightly and we scored
quickly and managed to add another three to complete a good 5 - 0 win. Aidan
Galllagher scored a sublime effort earning him goal of the match with Niall
Sheridan getting man of the match. There was special mentions for Conan, and
Stephen for industrious performances. This rounded off an excellent season
with a good strong team. All of the boys can be pleased
with their performances this year, well done again ! Tuesday 18th May 2010 Carruth Cup Final St Paul's (S) 0 - 3 St Fillan's This was a hard test for the boys
and they took a long time to get settled. However they did and got a couple of
well worked goals to lead 2 - 0 at half time. Conan getting goal of the
match. A third goal was added in the second half by Joe McGuinnes. James
McLaughlin got a deserved man of the match despite taking a few sore ones for
the team. Special mention for Niall and Danny. Well done again boys. Championship Semi Final St Blane's 1 - 8 St Fillan's Another excellent performance from
the boys with a strong 4-3-2-1 formation giving an attacking threat. The boys
were quick to score again and went from strength to strength throughout the
match. This was even with two first team players out with injuries. Joseph
Din got man of the match for a fine performance with Niall, Stephen and Sean
getting special mentions. Mark Anderson also got a special mention for another
very good goalkeeping performance. Goal of the match went to Conan who worked
hard all game. Well done boys and on to the final. Carruth Cup Semi final St Roch's 0 - 8 St Fillan's The boys took a long time to
settle into this match but gradually Stephen Tomkins and Niall Sheridan took
control. Tony Cannon got us going with the first goal a cracker of a left
foot volley, that got him goal of the match, and Stephen and Niall both
got "men of the match"
special mentions to Conan and Sean who were excellent, on to the final. Saturday 24th April 2010 St Mirin's 3 - 6 St Fillan's To win the title. St Mirin's started really well and
pegged us back for over 15 minutes. It was a very even game until we scored.
Both the strikers got their two goals and were substituted for their trouble. At this point St Mirin came back
at us and scored three goals to get to 5 - 3, a bit nervy but we scored
another to seal the game and relax the coaches and win the league at 6 - 3
Conan got goal of the match for a team goal passed from back to front. Mark
Anderson got a special mention for his best
performance in goal this year and James McLaughlin had another "man of
the match" sterling performance in defence. Well done boys an excellent
season. Wednesday 21st April 2010 St Columkille's 1 - 9 St Fillan's Getting closer to the 30th April
deadline and completing all of the games becomes a challenge. St Columkille's
have struggled to get a playable park and with the help of St Brigid's we
were able to get the game on. The boys were told that we had to start
brightly and use our 4-2-3-1 formation to best effect. Sean took this to
heart and scored in the first minute a smashing effort, getting him goal of
the match. Conan is on fire too and scored 4 getting man of the match,
Stephen and Niall were special mentions for being the "2" that held
the midfield together. Another professional performance. Saturday 27th March 2010 Carruth Cup Quarter Final St Fillan's 11 - 2 St Bride's
(Govanhill) Again the boys were exceptional
with a goal scored in less than two minutes. Great to see some very good
football being played. Man of the match was Stephen Tomkins and goal of the
match was a sublime individual effort by James McLaughlin, with a special
mention to the tireless captain Aidan Gallagher. Semi - Final 27th
April 2010 at Maryhill. Saturday 13/03/2010 Carruth Cup (pre Quarter Finals) This was a tougher match than the
result suggests. We were pinned back for the first 15 mins and even went a
goal behind after a well worked corner. This though, galvanised the team and
they then started to work for each other and battled to win each
ball. Stephen Tomkins was shifted back into the midfield to help with this
and we soon got back to our more usual play. Sean scored a hat-trick and took
his tally to 40 goals for the season and got man of the match. Goal of the
match went to James McLaughlin for a well taken goal coming after he was
swapped into the midfield. There was also a special mention for Charles
McFadden who played very well at right back. Another very good performance boys
well done. 4 March 2010 – Friendly This was a real test for the
remainder of the St Fillan's team. Four players called in sick and three were
playing for the opposition so we had to draft three younger players in. The
Glasgow Team were (unsurprisingly) very strong and we were caught out by that
in the first half. We managed to cope better in the second half. Niall
Sheridan was again man of the match, Stephen Tomkins scored a superb free
kick and Luke Sweeney gets a mention for stepping up well to the A Team. Saturday
20th February 2010 What
can I say ? The boys were brilliant and totally commanding for the first
20mins. We were 3 - 0 up when we were awarded a penalty, Conan took charge as
it was for his hat trick. Conan scored 4 and got goal of the match. Man of
the match went to Niall Sheridan who had another one of the matches where
every blade of grass was covered. He was up front helping the attack and then
back in front of the defence |
Saturday
13th February 2010 Danny
Barr picking up man of the match today. He has really improved since joining
us this year and performs consistently well and improves week on week. Again
another great performance, well done again boys! Aidan
Gallagher was man of the match with a commanding display of energy and guile. Carruth
Cup 2nd Round St
Fillan's 8 - 1 St Blane's St Blane's came with a keeper who managed to save every shot in the opening 20mins. I left for a short while at nothing each and when I returned at half time it was 4 - 1 !! The second half saw the boys play even better with each goal being well worked. Conan Shields was man of the match, with Sean Harley getting goal of the match. Very good performance boys. Saturday 12th December 2009 Another excellent controlled
display from the team. Great passing and movement from the boys. Man of the
match goes again to Niall Sheridan playing at centre back, goal of the match
went to Stephen Tomkins for a cheeky chip and a special mention goes to
Charles McFadden who (like Danny Barr) is really improving greatly week on
week. Keep it up guys. Saturday 5th December 2009 What can I say. Great performance
! Niall Sheridan with another commanding performance and Sean Harley with
goal of the match. Danny Barr given a special mention as one of the most
improved players that we have. Regan Wallace did fine in goals covering for
Mark who has a sprained wrist. Saturday 14 November Carruth Cup 1st Round We started really well again and
created chance after chance without scoring. I was starting to think that it
was going to be one of those days when the ball broke to Joe McGuinness on
the left and he made room for himself and hit a fine shot into the back of
the net. Joe managed to do the same again a while later to make it 2 - 0 at
half time. This seemed to boost us and deflate St Catherine's as we quickly
scored 3 to put us 5 – 0 up, Conan scoring three. A very good team performance again with man
of the match going to Niall Sheridan, goal of the match to Conan and special
mentions to Joe Din, Sean Harley, and Joe McGuinness. A special mention also
to James McLaughlin who made the tackle of the year to prevent a goal scoring
opportunity. Excellent hard work and tracking back by James, well done! Well
done to all again, another very good performance ! 10th October - Friendly I asked the boys to go hard at it
for this test to see what we could really do against a good team. I wanted
four goals by half time and I got exactly that. Sean Harley had his shooting
boots on and got a hat-trick and got substituted for his trouble. In the
second half we went on to score another 6 with everyone playing really well,
Sean coming back on top bag another two goals. Man of the match was the
superb Niall Sheridan again and goal of the match had to go to Sean for any
one of the five ! James McLaughlin and Stephen Tomkins got special mentions
for their hard work, James for another great defensive performance. 3rd October - Friendly Another good game with some fine
performances although again we create a lot of chances that we don't seem to want to take (picky !). This
was a game where Niall Sheridan came into his own, he was everywhere, attacking,
holding in the midfield and defending/sweeping...very industrious. Goal of
the match came from Stephen Tomkins who could choose from his bouncing bomb
goal or his attacking header ! Special mentions went to Taylor Smith for some
great deliveries from dead ball and James McLaughlin and Joseph Din solid in
defence again. Saturday 26th September We struggled in the first half and
only managed to pop the one goal in to lead 1 - 0 at half time. The boys
quickly came right into it again though by dominating possession and with
some outstanding wingplay by Tony Cannon (man of the match) Saturday 12 September Aidan Neely got us started with a
fine half volley despite being closed down. That got him a deserved goal of the
match. There was some slick passing and some very stout defending especially
from man of the match Joseph Din (JD). James McLaughlin, Aidan Gallagher and
Conan Shields all got special mentions for their hard work. Great result ! We
were able to capitalise, big time.. Six goals were scored with the best a
great individual effort by Ciaran Sharkey. Special mentions must be made of
James McLaughlin and Joseph Din for some outstanding defensive work again.
Well done to all... Saturday 5 September First league match of the season
started slowly. It was 0 - 0 at half time. We scored first but let St
Brigid's equalise right away. We then rolled the sleeves up and got down to
the job in hand, as Niall Sheridan said "we started to play as a team
!" some great goals scored including goal of the match from Niall and
man of the match Aidan Gallagher. Special mentions to Conan Shields, James
McLaughlin and Joseph Din. |
