yes good evening you’re very welcome
along to a sunny but reasonably chilly
Weaver par see how that goes and here’s
Dar Mar he’s got Adam Foy streaking away
down the right hand side Foley doesn’t
have a huge maintainment at the moment
now Pierro gets in there and it’s going
to come to Pier can he get onto it it’s
deflected it’s gone in is it no it’s
just gone wide well was a block on it
thought it was going to bble just inside
the post but what a start from draw a 45
seconds gone and an early chance for
Pierro John and a decent bit of
Defending by Slo I think it was McGinty
maybe one of his Defenders there but
they did the job Po’s got to do better I
think Dave I think he’s he’s got to try
and score here gets into a great
position show grounds earlier this
season to cap a find 3-1 win for SLO and
that’s well dealt with by Hayden
Cy CYO Defender CYO attackers wanted a
back pass there I think it would have
been a little bit hard but it’s a player
down I think it’s Gerald is down yeah
man who got an absolute screamer here a
few years ago and they go up to our left
he’s all right former der City
player and uh the referee has decided
that ball is a bit on the soft side here
it is again just a collision between
Jack Keeny and Fitzgerald both had eyes
on the ball he was bailed out by Jack
Keeny now here comes Sao again down the
left hand side Keeny again gets aead on
that one Moran with a little cushioned
header it’s played forward by Mali and
towards W and it’s going to break and
it’s in is it yes what a goal from zigo
Rovers is it Fitz Sherl I think it is
well we talked a moment ago about the
goal he got here a few seasons back that
one was a little bit less
spectacular but it gives his side a lead
it was a good touch from Wu I think Wu
had a big part of playing this I think
he chested it down or played a little
ball in front of Fitzgerald great strike
across the keeper you watch weu
here great little knockdown and the shot
just into the ground and it seemed to
just Bobble front of jetran Baron over
his hand and Wilford Sherl we talked
about his appearances Off the Bench he
started tonight and it’s his first goal
of the season for SLO so that early
positive start from dra counts for
nothing because the home faithful here
on there’s a chance for a break away
that’s a really good play from mhin
Galler thought the referee was going to
give a free kick there he’s right on the
spot thought he bundled over the big
Striker good ball in towards Pierro it’s
going to break back to Mary on the edge
of the box now Gall can he get the shot
away oh it’s out of the ground just a
little lack of composure from moin
Galler scored a fine goal into that end
a few weeks back but just snatched out
of the wee bit John comes off the break
you said about p goes up the proo and it
breaks off him again half a chance da
look You’ like you should be able to get
that on target Puro making a nuisance of
himself um comes onto it and he
finds support outside him from Foley
cross comes in from Hy towards Pierro oh
and it’s a decent flick header just
couldn’t get enough on it but much
better from dra John they’ve just been
coming into it a little bit more in the
last five minutes yeah I think the goal
probably knocked the stuffing out of
them for about five minutes that was a
great cross in from Heeney great run
from Degan good layback from FY great
cross in and Piro just got under a
little bit um started like a train
almost had the ball in the net after
about 40 seconds but SLO got their
chance shortly afterwards and took it up
towards Pierro again again he’s just
trying to shake off the attentions of
the defender and it’s with Davis and he
slides it off the per to his right and
it’s coming together Mary has a shot oh
what a goal Terra
Marky absolutely stunning finish from
the D at number seven Warren Davis and P
had a big part to play in this day some
great combination play davidon really
well committed a few Defenders to the
ball I think he plays it into pero pero
plays it I don’t know how how did he
mean to play it back um no he didn’t but
what a finish that is Quality quality it
was a real coming together there Pierro
tried to have the shot it was Hutchinson
who blocked his path it broke back to
DAR Mary and he did not take any time at
all to get that shot off as soon as it
came back to he knew he knew what he was
doing there was a little layoff from
Davis Pierro and Hutchinson Collide
still plenty of bodies forward from that
initial free kick it’s over towards KH
on the far side he knocks it into the
center the goal on really good defending
that was great play from Charlie wig it
just got there in front of Warren Davis
he had to be on his toes John and he was
brilliant ball in from con Kan great
header back across the goal by can and
fabulous defending that’s what you want
your Defenders doing going going to meet
in the danger brilliant defending Conor
Kane on this near side crosses halfway
little bit of space in front from Will
Sher is tracking and plays it into Mar
oh lovely the back here nice little one
two and almost worked out John Ross
Wilson covered off really well then he
plays it across the face his own goal
Foley Wilson gets across the make the
block frantic
stuff oh you can’t take your eyes off
this one Heeney gets up oh and Chapman
is what conceded the free kick I waited
for the referee there what thought he
was going to say play away but Chapman
just got up and uh got up on top of the
back of blini there but here it is again
it was Marky Wilson came across and make
the initial he cleaned up his own mess
Dave he actually made he made the mess
and then then he cleared it up he got
four games two of them were at John
carfield I think but seems to happen on
on a weekly basis that almost game that
uh coaches a manest are getting booked
and I’m not sure if their behavior is
any worse in this league than it is
anywhere else but anyway that’s
conversation from the another day Dar
Mary lays it off to Heeney his ball
across and it’s well blocked at the near
post by Mary and then Heeney gets back
in in front of oh it’s a penalty is it
yes it
is oh n Moran was just caught napping
hey got in in front of him and Moran
just lost his composure and he’s brought
down lukini who did really really well
there here this again
it was the initial cross from he it was
blocked at the near post it came back
Moran was just caught a second goal for
them tonight and the lead goal in the
game up comes France Pierro against
McGinty
scores sends the keeper the wrong way
draw the lead by two goals to one and
it’s all down to the good work of lukini
and of course the Finish from France
Pierro John absolutely look you can see
Dean calling all the players in there as
the getness out but now In fairness SL
go come out being the better side in uh
in the in the second half and again
against the winner play from nothing
really been abely excent and again Keeny
and carabin after baru given them the
first 20 minutes in the game they’ve
handled him really really
well Ryan Brandon gets up and makes uses
himself and now AR mnal is away is he
going to get in behind AR mnal he still
going ar mcdal oh what a way to win
it what a way to win the game surely for
JY by Aron MCN it was Ryan Brandon who
got up initially made an uses of himself
the ball broke to Aron mnal the two
substitutes combining John and that
should be it well said be brave and that
was Brave Brian brenon again doing what
he does competing for a ball that he no
right to probably gwhere near what a
finish a poor defending for Wig but what
a finish what a composed finish that is
a brilliant finish brilliant Finish Well
Aaron MCN he scored one of the goals of
the season for Dra last year against
Cork City into that go as well but he
got away from Jr Wilson he got away from
wig that is it from waver Park as those
