Lurgan Town Boys FC

On Saturday Lurgan Town U12S met Ards youth the Lisburn League and ran out comfortable 3-0 winners.

The game started with Town having the upper hand having the majority of the possession but were unable to convert the early chances they created as they were finding Ards a tough nut to crack with their stubborn defending and fighting spirit there for all to see, and Ards themselves created a few chances at the other end but Town were comfortable all over the pitch and were able to cope with anything Ards threw at them, midway through the first half Towns dominance and quality paid off as the ball was driven in from the left side for the advancing Brendan McMullan who drove his shot into the roof of the net to give Town a well deserved lead, and soon after it could have been 2 but for some stubborn Ards defending keeping out numerous Town attacks to increase their lead the score remained 1-0 at the break.

The second half began with Town going in search of a killer second goal and Ards in search of an equaliser and for the first moments of the half both sides were creating good chances, but Town soon got their rhythm going again and made it 2-0 this time a shot from the impressive Josh Miller found the bottom corner of the net to make it 2, with Town now well in control of the game it was a matter of killing the game off with a third and that’s exactly what happened minutes later as a tired Ards side just couldn’t cope with Towns passing football and Ben Redpath scored with a great finish to make it 3-0 and seal the three points for Town.

With all the team turning In an impressive performance in this game it made picking a Man of the Match a hard choice but it was given to Josh Miller for his display playing in two different positions in the game and scoring the second goal of the match. Well done to all the boys and keep up the good work for the remainder of the season
