Saturday 03 Mar 2012 Fe 11 - Football League
Midleton GAA () vs Mallow ()
Mallow, 12:30PM
Amidst a good breeze and some heavy rain showers, Midleton Fe11's played their first Football league game away to Mallow.
We made the trip with 20 players which meant all that travelled played a full game. We played two teams of ten, both playing 2 twenty minute halves.
It was always going to be a stiff challenge as Mallow would play a good deal more football than our lads. And as the first half got under way it looked ominous for both Midleton teams.
At the end of the first half we were on the wrong side of the scoreline in both matches. However the players were asked simply to tighten up on their opposition players and keep their heads up. To their great credit, each player gave their all in the second half and put up a far better challenge. However even with the better performance the damage was done in the first half. The lads although disapointed know they are on a learning curve in Football and are looking forward to welcoming Mallow to Midleton for the Hurling league match.
