Instead of training tonight we decided to organise a friendly match v St Michael’s.
Without having a game for over 2 weeks our lads showed signs of rustiness, they lacked their usual sharpness & intelligence all over the field. Although the Derg had most of the possession, we couldn’t take our scores, mostly due to poor decision making and St Michael’s hard tackling/compact back line.
First half;
St Michael’s 1-4 v 1-8 Aghaderg
Second half team talk was to - up the communication, attack with width, lengthen the pitch. This worked a treat, our forwards found more space and we started to convert the possession into scores.
Our back line also tightened up as St Michael’s only scored two points in the second half.
Final score;
St Michael’s 1-6 v 3-19 Aghaderg
Hope Conor Comiskey is feeling better soon, following the injury he sustained on the pitch this evening.
Thanks again to all the parents for getting the lads there tonight.
