Renmore Blues Make Flying Start to U17 Division 3 Campaign 🇱🇻🔥
Renmore Blues 7–2 MacDara
Renmore Blues kicked off their U17 Division 3 season in style on Friday evening, welcoming MacDara to Renmore Avenue for an entertaining, action-packed encounter.
Both teams set out to play attacking football from the first whistle, creating numerous chances at either end. It was Renmore who eventually broke the deadlock when Rithik marked his Blues debut with a well-taken goal. Shortly afterwards, Sean doubled the advantage with his first goal of the evening.
MacDara remained a constant threat and deservedly pulled a goal back late in the opening half. However, Blues captain Senan restored Renmore’s two-goal lead on the stroke of half-time, sending the home side into the break with a 3–1 advantage.
With the breeze at their backs, MacDara made the perfect start to the second half, scoring an early goal to reduce the deficit to just one. At that stage, the visitors appeared to have the momentum, but Renmore responded
The Blues took control of the contest and produced some excellent football for the remainder of the game. Sean added two more goals to complete a memorable hat-trick, while Eoghann also found the net. Nathan capped an impressive debut with a goal of his own, completing the scoring for Renmore.
MacDara continued to work hard until the final whistle, but Mikey and Senan were outstanding in midfield, repeatedly breaking up opposition attacks. When MacDara’s pacey forwards managed to get beyond Renmore’s excellent defensive line of John Carr, Anton, David and John McGrath, goalkeeper Ronan proved a safe pair of hands between the posts.
At the other end, Renmore’s attacking players, Eoghann, Nathan, Sean, Rithik and John Hendley, continued to create opportunities right up to the final whistle.
It was a fantastic start to the new campaign for the Blues, although MacDara certainly played their part in a tremendous and entertaining contest.
