Minor Board Roundup St. Barnabas capture U-10 final

February 16, 2011

By Staff Reporter

Celtics, who held the upper hand for long periods over the hour, could not convert their outfield superiority into scores and fell to St. Barnabas 3-4 to 0-3 in the U-10 League final.

St. Barnabas made the most of their chances. Jack Hannon, set up by a fine passing movement via Brian McGovern, Shane Flanagan and Brendan McMorrow, got goal number one. Padraig McDaid sent over two long-range points, leaving the halftime score St. Barnabas 1-2, Celtics 0-1. Celtics applied even greater pressure in the second half, thanks to the heroic defensive work by the Hallinan brothers, Patrick and Kevin, St. Barnabas held on. And with 10 minutes to go, Jack Hannon with a deft left-sided strike from 20 yards found the Celtic net. Three minutes later, Hannon got number two, set up this time by Kevin Chambers, Conor Hogan and Brendan McMorrow. Jack Hannon notched the final score, a point, before referee Dave Ryan sounded the final whistle. Great team performance for the Woodlawn boys.

Michael Lang, Daniel Tierney, Kelly McArdle, Chris O’Connor, Brendan Guerrier excelled for Celtics.
