Castleknock's fortune changed soon after when Andy was taken off injured with a knee injury. Castleknock had to arrange their back line with Mustafa standing in for Andy in defense. Knocklyon managed to get a lucky break and and got one back to make it 2-1 at half time.

10 minutes into the second half, Knocklyon brought the game level, leaving Castleknock with some work to do to get the 3 points that they promised their manager!

The pressure continued from Knocklyon, but Zuhdi managed to pull off another great save to keep Castleknock in the game.

Things were not looking good for Castleknock, Omar was taken off with an ankle injury, and just when Castleknock had thought they had gone in front with a goal from Mohammed, the referee disallowed it and awarded a free kick to Knocklyon!

Castleknock were not finished though, John had broke free and had a goal in his sights when he was viciously taken down in the penalty area. The Knocklyon defender was sent off and a penalty was awarded.
John took a great penalty but the goalkeeper was a good match for it and managed to turn it wide for a corner.

An excellent game which ended 2-2, and a great performance by all.

Another hard decision this week but man of the match goes to Cormac who was unbeatable today in defense. Well done Cormac!
