A Team Matches Saturday 26th March 2011 St Fillan's
1 - 3 St Stephen's This was always going to be our
Nemesis. It has to be said that the better
football team did not win. Charles and young Jordan (P6) were men of the
match and but for Charles the result could have been worse. Special mention
too for Danny 'the cat' Boyle in goals and Ciaran
who took a fine penalty. We need to be stronger if we want
to progress.. Carruth Cup Quarter Finals Saturday 5th March 2011 St Paul's 4 - 0 St Fillan's This was a tough match against a
very strong team and although we held out for the first 20minutes, it always
looked like we were going to concede at some point. We lost two goals in
either half from set plays. This was disappointing given that we had covered
this in training. Having said that some of our passing was very good although we just couldn't
get going due to a very strong opposition midfield and a superb centre back.
Charles McFadden was our man of the match putting in another fine display of
dogged defending. Unlucky boys, but sometimes the better team wins. Saturday 27th February St Francis (G) 0 - 8 St Fillan's A fine day saw a good team put on a very
good display. Man of the match Joe McGuinness
definitely had his shooting boots on with a fine goal to start and another
three to add to that. Ciaran Sharkey, and Lyle
Querns got special mentions for good play and passing ability with Danny
Boyle getting another mention for a fine goalkeeping display (must be the new
gloves !). Dermot McGuire got goal of the match. 19th February 2011 St Columbkille's
v St Fillan's 1 - 7 Sticky match this with us scoring
first for a change. We then shot ourselves in the foot by conceding a penalty
(thanks John !). We went into the second half at 1 -
1 but quickly got 1 - 2, 3,4,5,6 and 7 as St Columbkille's could not resist the onslaught. Goal of the match went to Stephen
McBride with man of the match going to Jack Neison
for an awesome display of dogged tackling and clearing (where has that been !)
Special mention to Peter again for passing and to Danny for very good
goalkeeping and a bit of a wonder save to keep us at 1 -1, well done guys
! 5th February 2011 2nd round of the Carruth Cup St Brigid's
v St Fillan's 1 - 3 A bad start again and went a goal
down by letting a midfielder in our area without cover. We battled well again
to get back to 1 - 1 at half time. Joe McGuiness scored a fine goal
again for goal of the match and we scored another 2 in the second half.
Charles McFadden was man of the match Peter Tomkins also getting a mention for
passing and a special mention for good play from Marc Ronald. 15th January 2011 1st round of the Carruth Cup St Angela's v St Fillan's 3 - 4 Not a great day and not a great
start. We lost two sloppy goals from set pieces by poor defending. To be fair the boys rallied and
got it back to 2 - 2 at half time. We went on in the second half to score
another 2 but let ourselves down by losing another sloppy goal to end the match 3 - 4 Not a
great performance but a good result and fine battling spirit. Goal of the
match was scored by Dermot McGuire a fine header. Man of the match was
Charles McFadden again. Special mention for Peter Tomkins for passing well
(new category). |
Saturday 18th September 2010 St Fillans
6 - 0 St Francis First match at our Toryglen pitch and it turned out to be a good one. Joe McGuinness did not have his shooting boots on with
numerous chances squandered in the first half. Thankfully Dermot McGuire did
not squander his chance with goal of the match. Ciaran
Sharkey was man of the match again for a fine performance. He is coming on
that boy. The rest of the team did well with some nice passing moves. Saturday 11th September St Fillan's
13 - 0 St Timothy's Good game against St Timothy's
with a tough start and they were difficult to break down. However once the
second goal went in St Timothy's heads went down and St Fillans
were able to play good passing football and press home the advantage. Ciaran Sharkey got man of the match with Joe McGuinness getting goal of the match. Impressive performance
from Jordan at right back and Logan at left back (both P6's). Well done again
guys. Saturday 4th September St Fillans
13 – 4 St Brides What a great day for football. The
sun was shining and the boys were raring to go. We managed to get a better shape
to the team as everyone was getting to grips with their position and their
role. Man of the match was the excellent Peter Tomkins again (P6) and Marc
Ronald got goal of the match for a great 25 yard strike. There was a special
mention for Ciaran Sharkey who worked very hard the
whole game. Great to see the boys enjoying themselves. Saturday 28th August St Fillan's
5 - 6 St Francis of Assisi Last pre-season game proved to be
interesting and most entertaining (as long as you aren't one of the coaches).
We looked very good in attack after we shuffled the pack due to losing two
goals early on. Ciaran Sharkey was moved to the centre of midfield which helped
and Joe McGuinness and Dermot McGuire were put on
up front to take the game to St Francis. We won the second half with the
addition of Peter Tomkins and more shuffling (always look to the positives).
Goal of the match went to Joe McGuinness (cracking
effort) and Peter Tomkins got man of the match for an impressive performance
for the young man. A bit of work to do yet, but
heading the right direction. Saturday 21st August St Fillan's
4 - 2 St Brigid's (friendly) The first game of the new season
and the boys took a little time to get going, but by the time the match
finished we were looking like St Fillan's normally
does, a really good footballing team. Joe McGuiness was on fire scoring
one and setting up two and not to mention his rasping drive which was
superbly saved by the keeper. Dermot McGuire got goal of the match for his
well taken goal and he was highly commended for a McGeady'esk
chip to the back post which Mark finished with a well taken header. All of
the rest of the boys were given a special mention to get their points going. Good result and a better than
expected first performance, well done now lets
build on that ! |
