Millstreet v Fairview (AOH Cup) – 11/09/2011
We lost 4-3 to Fairview in the AOH cup this morning. The game was very loose for the first 15 mins with neither side dominating but the game started to settle after that. Fairview had a good spell of pressure before we created our first chance when Barry Lawlor was put clear by Paul Dawson but he shot just over the bar. The same 2 combined again 5 mins before the half but the keeper saved well from Lawlor and just on the stroke of half time we conceded. Tadhg Collins had a good chance to get us level but shot wide under pressure but it was Fairview who got the next to make it 2-0. We bounced straight back when a lovely ball from Lawlor sent Collins clear to finish well. We were back on level terms in the 60th min when a Lawlor free kick found Collins who powered home the header. Fairview took the lead again with a goal direct from a corner but once again we hit straight back. Lawlor and Collins made it a hatrick of assists and goals, Lawlor crossing for Collins to finish with his head. Fairview took the lead again with 10 to go and even though we had a couple of chances we couldn’t get the equalizer. Best for us on the day were Tadhg Collins, Barry Lawlor and Donal O Sullivan.
Team: Piotr Oziast, Donal O Sullivan, Eamon O Keeffe, Shane Collins, Michal Maciasz, John Lehane, Darek Sroka, Michael Murphy, Barry Lawlor, Paul Dawson, Tadhg Collins
Great report, bad result!
i have to disagree Aidan, ” The same 2 combined again ” this is poor reporting and referring to Millstreet Celtic as we or us, the reporter would really want to get someone to read over his work before sending it.
Noreen, for the grammar, well maybe i should have picked up on that, but that’s where our usage of the english language is taking us.
The author is actually one of the players, so he has the option of writing in first person or third person. Yes most sports results are done in the third person, and when the reports came in first they sounded sort of unfamiliar, but, when you look at them, the author only really knows the millstreet celtic players, so it actually does make sense and is more personal.
… “Don’t bend over backwards to avoid using the first person: there are many times when it’s the best choice”
we’re just happy to get the reports and to see how they’re getting on.
