On Sunday the over 35,s travelled to Sevitt Fc from Gormanstown where <\/span><\/p>\n

a place in the 1\/4 finals of the Clifford cup was up for grabs.<\/span>We played a 4-5-1 formation which has been good to us in the Cup but <\/span>probably wasn\u2019t the wisest decision by management on the day\u00a0due to it being a narrow pitch.The pitch itself left a lot to be desired and was played on the day before.We packed the midfield which\u00a0confused the opposition and ourselves at times.We took an early lead with a great set piece from a corner. Dave Mohan called for the short corner which distracted the full backs who tried to close him down, Frank McNamee spotted this and timed a super run to the near post and with pinpoint accuracy Paul (Scholsey) Burke obliged with a super corner for Frank to head home. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One up and the home team stunned,we started to make a few mistakes at the back. <\/span>The opposition pressed , our back line were a bit confused ,balls over the top, Jimmy slow getting off his line,Barry Crowe getting involved for all the wrong reasons with whoever wanted a row and with all this plotting against us no-one was prepared for what came next .A defensive clearance from Matt Grimes reached the half way line and Paddy Hughes came to collect. Paddy went on a run and was forced into the corner.Under pressure Paddy made some space for himself and about a yard off their back line and about twenty yards from the goal, Paddy looked up spotted the keeper at his near post, Paddy somehow managed to loop a ball with precision over <\/span>the keeper into the net.Now were all stunned and with great admiration and a slight nod of the head in disbelief from the opposition Manager were two up and game on.We went in at half time 2 up and a bit mesmerised that we werent 3-2 down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Second half started with a lot of pressure from the opposition and they were starting to get on top.Then they got their first, a bit of confusion in our back line let there forward in to score from down the left side. Second goal came\u00a0with about ten mins <\/span>left and it\u00a0was very fortunate for them..Tony Kavanagh hit the deck after a very hefty challenge and follow through in our own box, so all the Spartak players stopped and waited for the referee to blow his whistle for a free out and much to everyones amazement, he didn\u2019t. A twenty yard shot defelected in past Jimmy and were heading to penos.Credit to Spartak who didn\u2019t flinch and scored all five penos after Sevitt missed their 5th<\/sup> one.<\/span><\/p>\n
