The game was up and down the field, sixth minute we had a break with Daniel blasting the ball out of our defence and into the Listowel half for Mark to retrieve it and saw the Listowel keeper out of his area and lobbed the ball into goal 1-0.
Park started to sleep and with a cracking strike from the Listowel no 10 placed the ball top of the net which nobody could have stopped 1-1. Both teams yet again up and down the field and with another shot just under the cross bar which Tennyson had no chance to stop yet again 2-1 to Listowel. Five minutes to go and Listowel had a cross which Tennyson’s stop but couldn’t hold the ball and was a bit to late getting back and the ball went through Tennyson legs 3-1.
