Soccer- Moyola Park Under 15s on tour

Moyola Park Under 15s on tour Soccer Moyola Park Wednesday night saw Moyola under 15’s play FC Salou @ Futbol Salou in one of their friendly games and came out 4-2 winners. Moyola went one nil down after only 4 minutes and they thought the writing was on the wall but the young lads bounced back with the home side finding R Lee’s pace to much as he rounded two defenders and shot low under the FC Salou keeper to leave both teams going in one all at half time. The Moyola lads came out the second half full of confidence with P Diamond and S McGrogan in full control in midfield it was R Lynn who chipped the keeper to make it 2-1 from an McGrogan pass. R Lynn scored his second to make it 3-1 following a great run from R Lee who passed to the Moyola forward and he tapped the ball in from close range. Moyola’s fourth goal came from a penalty when R Lee was brought down in the box and in great sportsmanship Lee handed the ball to Lynn who made no mistake by beating the home keeper for his hat-trick. A free kick on the 90th minute saw a C McMullan shot from 25 yards come off the cross bar and the referee blew up for full time. Moyola’s back line of captain O Lee, Milne, Clarke & Gilmore were in great form an McErlean in goals pulled off early saves with the midfield of P Diamond, McGrogan F Diamond & McNicholl all in great form and Lee & Lynn causing the FC Salou defence all sorts of problems. Moyola Park manager Robin Martin made changes during the game with Henry, Palframan, McMullan, Young and Rafferty all coming on and we're it great form. The boys who have been training hard week in week out for this paid off with this great performance and some off the other coaches from around Europe who were there thought the lads played really well. Moyola Park: McErlean, O Lee, Milne, Clarke, Gilmore, P Diamond, McGrogan F Diamond, McNicholl, R Lee, Lynn. Subs: Henry, Palframan, McMullan, Young, Rafferty.
