Broomhedge Reserves 3 - 2 𝗚𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗮𝘃𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱𝘀
⚽️ Gareth Smylie
⚽️ Charlie Grant

A great run out for the third team on Wednesday night seen them fall to a narrow defeat. Glenavy conceded first but responded well after great work from Gareth Smylie to both win and convert a penalty. Glenavy then started to take control and took a deserved lead through the dangerous Charlie Grant. The front 3 of Smylie, Wright and Grant were causing a lot of problems to the Broomhedge defence.

A host of changes at half time were made to give everyone valuable minutes in the legs. There were some standout performances despite Glenavy surrendering their lead to Broomhedge to ultimately lose the game 3-2. Bradlee Chapman looked very sharp and was unlucky not to score on a few occasions after some excellent saves from the Broomhedge keeper. It was also terrific to see Sam McCready back on the pitch after a bad injury. But the biggest positive on the night was young Luke Daye who was stepping up from our under 18s team. He was absolutely superb and showed composure far beyond his years at left back. Luke epitomised the great work that has been going on at our academy, he was a credit to his coaches and it was brilliant to see him in the senior shirt. The future is bright! 👏

Here he is pictured alongside coach, Stephen Montgomery and one of our longest-serving players, GFC legend Rick Mcclenaghan. They are at different ends of the age scale, but both still doing the business! ...we will let you figure out which one is which!

Stay tuned to our socials for some exciting news about another young star joining the ranks...
