16’s Return To Winning Ways To Reach Shield Semi-Finals
Downpatrick returned to winning ways after last weeks defeat in the league to progress to the semi-final of the Shield. Downpatrick got of to a slow start and found themselves being over run in midfield and at times they were chasing shadows.
14’s Progress to Semi-Finals
Downpatrick started the game playing into a strong breeze, but within the opening minutes they came to terms with it, Brandon Boyd won the ball in the middle of the park, he then played the ball out to left back Adam Jervis who then released Eoin Rooney with a perfect pass. Rooney controlled the ball and raced clear of the Portadown defence to coolly finish and leave the keeper with no chance.
Turley and McMahon Shine in Seconds Win
Downpatrick seconds continued their impressive winning run with another fine performance against Castlewellan in Annsborough on Saturday. Touser Holland’s men took a while to get into their stride but when they did Castlewellan couldn’t handle their slick passing and forward play.
16’s Fall To Their First Defeat
Downpatrick FC fell to their first defeat of the season at the hands of Lisburn Youth, by a score of 1 – 0. Downpatrick can have no complaints about Saturday’s result, every single player failed to perform against a team who were first to the ball on every occasion and who wanted to win the game more.
14’s Continue Impressive Run
Downpatrick started by playing against the wind, both teams we’re just probing trying to get into the game. Downpatrick started the quickest when Kian Tierney released Ruairi Quinn down the left wing; he controlled the ball before having a shot that went narrowly wide.
