Down continued their winning ways at Round 3 of the Ulster U14 Festival of football on Saturday at Liatroim Fontenoys Co. Down.
Down's U14s were keen to build on last week's good performances against Donegal and Antrim by taking on Monaghan and Fermanagh, this time at home. Liatroim GAC were the hosts for Round 3 of the U14 Festival of football and their excellent facilities, leant itself to some great football.
Down took on Fermanagh in the first game. This was an amazing back and forth encounter with both sides battling hard for their jerseys. Some great finishes and really hard work saw Down edge this game by the odd goal. With an amazing four goal haul for Down's Annie Fitzpatrick.
Down 5-4 to Fermanagh 4-2.
In their second game Down faced Monaghan. Again this was a fiercely contested physical match.
Downs U14 management would have been delighted with an outstanding team performance. Down dominated possession and managed to hold the impressive Monaghan forward line to only three points in this game. While three unanswered Down goals in the second half (against the wind) gave the Mourne Ladies a great win.
Down 3-4 v Monaghan 0-3
A fantastic clean sheet for the Down keeper and defence; and two great results for the U14s to build on. Down U14 manager Stevie McCoey thanked Liatroim for doing a brilliant job of hosting the games. He also thanked the parents for their continued support for the team.
