Hanover Harps B 1 -5 St. Joseph’s FC
On Sunday afternoon, Saint Joseph's continued their unbeaten run with a strong away win vs Hanover Harps B. Joseph's Tom Mitchell opened the scoring during the 15th minute. He found himself one-on-one with the Hanover keeper after a fine through ball from Kuba Brzezinski, leaving Mitchell to pass the ball around the opposing keeper calmly. Mitchell scored his and St. Joseph's second of the game in the 25th minute when the ball ricocheted off a Hanover defender and found the opposite bottom corner. Hanover came back strong, forced an OG of their own, and had some excellent opportunities to level through Dillon Murphy, Vinny Oba, Pa Carr, and Aaron Kinsella, all of which missed. Joseph's Daniel Donegan scored the pick of the game's goals when he saw the Hanover keeper off his line, he struck the ball from 40 yards out, and it sailed into the net.
During the second half, Hanover was comfortable in possession but susceptible to the counterattacks, which would prove the difference. St. Joseph's team captain Webb scored a classy goal on the 65th minute when Brzezinski played him down the left, and Webb chipped the keeper to make it 4-1 to the Saints. Brzezinski finished off a fine display from the young and talented Saints team. He outmuscled and turned the Hanover left back to score a well-deserved goal.
It was a hardworking and impressive team performance for Saint Joseph's and their players Evan McGuire, Kuba Brzezinski, and Padraig Webb. A harsh score line for an improving Hanover team and Brandon Redmond, Vinny Oba, Mick Ryan and Darragh Brennan
