DENNY PREMIER A:
Tralee Dynamos 4 Ballyhar Dynamos 1
With very few games on in
Denny Premier A Tralee Dynamos went back to the top of the table with a
comfortable win over Ballyhar. Dynamos exploded out of the blocks with 2 goals
in the opening 7 minutes the first came from a Dynamos attack that went out for
a corner. David Conway cross was headed powerfully to the net by goal poacher
supreme Adrian McHugh.
The second goal came from good
build up play firstly Billy Stack got on the ball in the right back position he
released Damien Quirke down the wing with Ballyhar attempting to play offside
Damien released Adrian McHugh with a perfectly timed pass Adrian crossed first
time for the inrushing Daniel Clinton to side foot to the net.
Ballyhar will be disappointed
with their start and in fact it took a full 25 minutes before they had their
first shot on goal. The hard working Declan Wall received the ball 25 yards out
and shot first time on goal only to see his effort go wide with stand in keeper
Eddie Duggan scrambling to cover.
The next 10 minutes was all
Tralee Dynamos with James Wall, Theo Diggins & David Conway all with shots
on target only for the Ballyhar keeper saving each time.
The game as a contest finished
just before the half with Theo Diggins in possession down the left he inside
pass to Damien Diggins who in turn released James Wall who crossed to the back
post where Damien Quirke was able to side foot to the net giving Dynamos a 3-0
lead with 44 minutes gone in the match.
Credit due to Ballyhar in the second half as they battled all the way giving nothing to their opponents and finished the second half 1-1 the damage done in the first half.
Billy Stack retired injured in
the 54th minute a couple of minutes later no.3 of Ballyhar shot just
over the bar with keeper Duggan in trouble. The move of the match came with
Tralee Dynamos stringing together 13 passes from the defence switching play
right to left and back again Kevin Mc Cannon on the ball passed inside to Damien
Diggins who released Theo Diggins who was blown for offside by referee Brian
Healy thus ending a great passing move.
Tralee Dynamos introduce Audi
Dunlea for Adrian McHugh and young Dunlea will be happy with his debut getting
involved in a number of good Dynamos moves.
In the 75th minute
no.9 for Ballyhar shot just over and finally in the 82nd minute
Ballyhar finally got some reward from a goalmouth scramble Declan Wall shot
powerfully to the net from 12 yards out to reduce the scoreline to 3-1.
In the 85th minute Damien Diggins was put through by Audi Dunlea with only keeper to beat he went around the keeper to score Dynamos fourth and final goal. All in all Dynamo will be happy with the win with 4 under 19 players finishing the game
