Sullane 2-2 Mogeely B
After three narrow losses to start their league campaign, Mogeely Junior B got off the mark in AUL Division 3 with a hard fought point on the road, fighting back to equalise on two occasions. The game was evenly contested throughout but it was Sullane who went ahead in the tie on 15 minutes when a through ball caught out the Mogeely defence and Sullane striker Keane cooly slotted past Cayden Hyde to make it 1-0. Mogeely responded very well creating a number of chances and got their reward when Sullanes keeper failed to hold on to Jack Clifford’s free kick and Darragh Murphy pounced to score his 3rd goal in 4 games and level the tie.
The teams regrouped at half time and it was Sullane who started brighter and got in behind Mogeely’s defence in the 49th minute when a long kick from their goalkeeper was latched on to by Keane again who chipped it over the onrushing Hyde to put Sullane ahead again. To their credit, Mogeely responded well again creating a few chances in the next 20 minutes before the influential Oran Murphy was first to react in the six yard box and bury the ball into the back of the net to level the game in the 68th minute. Mogeely pushed for a winner in the next 10 minutes and were unlucky not to get a 3rd before Sullane took control from 80 minutes onwards putting pressure on Mogeelys defence. Mogeelys task was made harder in the final minutes when Ruben Duhig received his marching orders in the 88th minute for an honest lunge that the referee deemed to be last man and showed the red card to the unfortunate centre back. Mogeelys 10 men fought hard for the remainder of the game including 6 minutes of injury time while Sullane piled on the pressure.
Good team performances often still need a big moment from your goalkeeper and Hyde saved his team from heartbreak in the 94th minute when Sullane produced the biggest chance of the game only to see their effort acrobatically tipped over the crossbar as Mogeely held on for a well deserved point.
