5 th round Junior Shield
Kilroot Rec 1 v 5 A W M C
Armstrong Paul McClaron (2)
Kevin Murphy
Paul O’Neil
Stephen Brown.
A painful lesson in the art of playing football was dished out by AWMC at Beltoy today.
Playing with passion, ability and a sound team structure they were by far the better side, first to the ball and more often than not to the second ball as well.
Four goals to the good in the first half scored by Paul McClaron (2), Kevin Murphy and Paul O’Neil with only keeper Dean Hagan standing between AWMC and a good hiding.
A lone replay scored by Rab Armstrong’s speculative shot embarrassing the AWMC keeper as it sailed over his head.
Kilroots Rab Armstrong had a header saved on the line and Andrew Dummigan shot wide.
Second half started as the first finished Stephen Brown added goal number five on 50 minutes.
This prompted manager Paul Hanna into a double substitution Joel Lough and Barry Meek replaced Rab McKee and David Kidd.
Kilroot played with more confidence but never looked like unsettling the rampant AWMC.
Kilroots third sub Ben Harvey replaced Andrew Benson on 60 minutes.
The remainder of the game was competitive with both sides taking no prisoners but all in the right spirit.
Best for Kilroot were Simon Hamilton and Dean Hagan.

Kilroot Rec II 3 v 0 Wesley II
@ Beltoy
Kilroot seconds raced into a two goal lead on 25 minutes Jamie Wright and Wallace Nelson being the scorers 2-0.
Wesley seconds weren’t putting up much opposition and Kilroot went into lax mode which didn’t make for a good game.
Second half was similar to the first lack lust with only one winner on show.
Manager Colin McElnea attempted to inject some new blood to the fore with Darren Todd, Phillip Meek and Ricky Johnston replacing Trevor Cole, Wesley Steele and Gordon Ross.
Sub Phillip Meek rattled in Kilroot’s third goal with five minutes remaining to seal a comfortable victory and keep the promotion push on full steam.
Kilroot team,
Dean Hagan, Graham McCann, Chris Blainey, John Smiley, Wesley Steele (Phillip Meek) Gordon Ross (Ricky Johnston)
