Midleton U15 v Sarsfield U15 on Tuesday 9th July 19 at Buckleary’s cross, Glanmire.
The Midleton U15 panel opened their Summer Imokilly league with a difficult away encounter against Sars on a beautiful July evening.
Midleton started strongly and won many of the early exchanges and despite applying severe pressure on the Sars goal only managed a single point and were unable to convert this early domination on the score board.
Sars countered attacked and scored a very well taken goal with their first attack of the match. Midleton rallied with another point to reduce the deficit to a single score, however Sars again showed their clinical side and buried another goal in the Midleton net towards the end of the first half. Both teams traded points for the remainder of the half and at the whistle Sars lead by 2-3 to 0-4 points.
Midleton again started the 2nd half strongly and reeled off a couple of early points to reduce the deficit to a single goal. Sars then rallied and dominated proceedings for a portion of the half, however the Midleton defence held out despite the pressure applied and no scores were conceded.
As the match entered the final few minutes, Midleton scored a wonderful goal to level the match and indeed dominated the final few minutes but could not find the winning score and the match ended in a draw 2-3 to 1-6.
We now move on to play Cobh in the next round of the Imokilly league week commencing 22nd July
