Kiltullagh Pioneers AFC

Big thank you to John Power of   Power Soccer   for the great Coach the Coach session on Saturday last. Always something new to learn and we certainly did with John.   Thank you to all our   Kiltullagh Pioneers FC   coaches who took part on the day.

Our U14S went down fighting this afternoon in Sligo in the SFAI cup and the final score line doesn’t really do justice to the story of an excellent match.   It was quite even at the start with chances at both ends with Tom Daly going close with a header on 4’ while Danny Keane was causing the opposition a lot of problems with some great runs down the left wing.   We fell behind on 15’ to a well struck free kick that was bent expertly around the wall, but we almost equalized immediately when Jamie McDonagh crossed in a great ball that Tom came very close to finishing off.   Tom then went on a tremendous run but pulled his shot wide of the right hand post. He made up for it a minute later on 27’ when he finished expertly after great work by Oscar the Grouch.   Parity only lasted 2 minutes and we had a disastrous 3 minutes before the break when we conceded two goals to go in 3-1 down.   We knew that if we could get one goal back we would be right back i...

Good luck to all teams. Dont forget the Coaches session in Kiltullagh on Saturday.
