Clean Sheet for Castleknock

Castleknock travelled out to Dundrum today to face a team who had beaten them at home earlier in the year.

This time it was Castleknock who came out better with some very early chances in the game, with Robert getting a shot on goal in the opening minutes. Castleknock were very strong and playing great football with some great attacking play from Kevin, Sam and Gavan who were keeping the pressure on Dundrum. John also made some great breaks from midfield and created a lot of problems for Dundrum.

Then towards the end of the first half Castleknock went ahead with a perfect strike from David, which went over the keepers head and in to the top corner of the goal. All the hard work had paid off but there was more to do..

Castleknock kept the pressure on the home side with the help of some solid defending by Zuhdi and team captain Cormac. Dundrum's chance on the wings were quickly stopped by some excellent tackling and speed of Dylan and Frank.

The second half started with Omar filling for Zuhdi who had a great first half.
Mohammed and Mustafa worked well together to create some great chances on the right hand side, while Cathal and Shane created chances on the left. Castleknock had more chances in the second half but were caught be some questionable off side decisions.

Overall it was a great team effort and Donagh commanded the goal area to ensure that Dundrum did not equalise.

It was a tough decision this week to choose a man of the match with some exceptional performances by Mohammed, Robert, John, Sam and goal scorer David but this week it goes to Dylan, who was filling in for an injured Andy today. Dylan's tackling and speed to cover the right hand side was crucial to the result.

Well done all on a great team effort.
