We are delighted to announce the start of our season this weekend. After a shortened season due to the outbreak of the coronavirus last March, we're all looking forward to Saturday and a full fixture card. Please remember that clubs will have protocols in place to ensure that all our players, coaches and families have a safe playing environment.

The home side started on the front foot controlling possession and getting off shots. Conn Small hit the post twice in the first 15 mins. Eli Slevin shot from 25 yards only to be denied by the Ballymurphy keeper yet again. The breakthrough finally happened on the stroke of half time when Eli Slevin put Michael Quigley through who intelligently squared it back for Small to rattle the back of the net.

Ballymurphy came out in the second half and pressed for an equaliser only for Conor O'Gorman to deny them. The second goal came shortly after with Michael Lyons setting Quigley away to finish and make it 2-0. New Oak took control and held the ball well before Quigley nearly got his second only to be denied by the post. Luke McLoughlin came ckose twice but the Ballymurphy keeper kept the score at 2-0.

Best on the day - Blake O'Grady, Michael Quigley, Conor O'Gorman

Hanover Harps took on league leaders New Oak at home for a hotly contested game of football on a cool spring evening. A few short minutes after the first whistle the homeside were first to score with Nathan Walsh scoring from a fantastic free kick which deflected off the crossbar and into the New Oak goal. Hanover were unlucky not to get a second goal in the half when another free kick taken by Charlie McHugh went just a couple of inches over the visitors crossbar. New Oak had their own chances in the first half and were unlucky not to score in the 20th minute with the ball ping ponging at the front of the Hanover goal with the ball finally being booted over the crossbar.

Both teams started off strong in the second half with though battles throughout the field. The visitors pushed hard and were rewarded on the 40th miunute with their first goal. New Oaks second goal came about 5 miutes after from a corner that was tapped in. Hanover fought hard to score an equaliser and had some good opportunities that just did not go to foot. A disappointing result for Hanover to lose by the smallest of margins but they can be proud of the team performance.

2-1 win to New Oak.

Best for Hanover were

Senan Sheehan

Nathan Walsh

Nathaniel Jakubiec

New Oaks stand out players were

Cormac Lowry

Oisin Rice

Hanover Harps division 2 team welcomed St Pats Boys to The Plots in the first of our mid-week fixtures. It was an amazing game played tonight by two teams that were taking no prisoners. Both teams had their chances but the goal that won it was an amazing header on the 4th minute by Alex Broderick from a fantastic corner taken By Tire Adeleye.

A special mention to our Captain Fantastic Joe Dermody who really took the lead on the night.

It was an overall good performance from St Pats Boys.

Parkville started brightly but after some good St. Joseph's play they took the lead in the 8th min.

They nearly doubled their lead but for a great save from Bradley Stynes in the parkville goal, this inspired Parkville who started to come back into the game with some good play from Ryan Jennings, Dara Murphy and Jordi Coughlin.

With half time approaching James Broughan supplied a lovely cross in for Cody Doyle to equalised with his head.

Parkville started the 2nd half as they finished the 1st half with great play down the line. On one of these plays Oliwia Zaborniak won a corner that was converted to the back of the net by Donnacha Myres.

St. Joe's fought back for an equaliser but the Parkville defence of Dennis Fitzgerald, Joe Smithers, Orhran Byrne and Orhran Murphy came into their own and clear everything that came their way.

In the dying minutes one final chance fell to Parkville after a great through ball from Max O Donohoe who put Cody Doyle in. Dolye was fouled just outside the box and the resulting free kick was put narrowly wide by James Broughan.

That was the end of the action and Parkville held on for their 1st win of the season.

A great team performance.

St. Pats U15 march on to the quarter-finals of the SFAI Trophy after securing a hard-fought 2-1 win in extra time against St. Kevin's. In the initial stages of the match, St. Kevin's dominated possession and created a number of chances, with Luke Dooley making a fantastic save to prevent St. Pats from going behind. However, Pats dug deep and gradually took control of the midfield, thanks to the efforts of Mark Buggy.

Despite having a number of opportunities to score, Pats found it difficult to break down a resolute St. Kevin's defense, and it was only towards the end of the first half that they finally managed to find the back of the net, with Kacper Zarzycki putting them 1-0 up at halftime.

In the second half, Pats continued to dominate but were unable to convert their chances, and St. Kevin's gradually began to find their way back into the game, eventually equalizing to make it 1-1. The match remained level at full-time, leading to extra time.

Both sides had their chances in extra time, but Pats looked the more likely to score, and with just three minutes left before penalties, Mark Buggy produced a moment of magic to score the winning goal and send Pats through to the next round. The match ended 2-1 in Pats' favor, and their victory was well-deserved. Standout performers for Pat's included Ruari McEvoy, Mark Buggy, and Dawid Jarmakow.

This was a game played under cold but sunny condition on St. Patrick's Boys AFC Astro. This was a game that both sides had to win.

Both teams started well with St. Pat's creating some great chances. St. Pat's scored 1st through Andrew Monteiro about 15 minutes jnto the first half. Despite some impressive defending Andrew scored his second just before the end of the half.

St. Pat's started the second half well and within a few minutes of the start John Hendricken scored a scracker of a goal after some fine footwork to get jim in a position to shoot.

Against the run of play Slaney scored an excellent goal.

Pat's put the game to bed with a fourth goal from Danny Serafin.

Despite constant pressure and many shots on goal St. Pat's were unable to break through a solid Slaney defence.

A good result for St. Pat's. No man of the match as a great overall team performance from 1 to 16.
