Boys u 13 GRPB - BUFC U13 Boys 3-2 Gurteen Celtic - Astro Pitch Ballisodare (HOME) (WIN)
The u13 red team captained by Chrystal Dele today and with just the bare 11 players took all 3 points this morning against a strong Gurteen Celtic side.
The lads played fantastic football, and we took a 2 nil lead into half time through goals from Daniel Mc Padden and Bobby Sweene.
In truth, having hit the post 4 times, we should have been further in front.
Gurteen started the second half well and although we created some decent chances and forced the Gurteen keeper to make some good saves the lads found themselves level at 2-2.
With 5 minuts to go and no subs Bobby Sweeney stepped into goals to let Ethan Stoodley out and within a minute Ethan Stoodley had the ball in the net to send us 3-2 up.
2 minutes later Stephen Gillespie had the ball in the net with a fantastic finish after a great passing move bur was ruled offside.
It was great team performance and all 11 dug deep to get the win today.

Shortly after the restart Oran Hynes completed his hat trick. Before Tubber pulled 2 goals back.
The lads where still playing great football and Ryan Munnelly popped up at the back post to score our 5th.
Finally Conor Cuskelly dribbled into the box before he was taken down and was awarded a penalty.

BOYS U 11 La Liga - BUFC U11 V Boys Manor Rangers - Cleveragh Astro - (NEUTRAL) (WIN)
Great performance from the Reds today.
Took control of the game from the off, and took an early lead with a great Conor Crossan finish.
A bit more composure on the final ball would have seen the arrival of a 2nd, and we were made to pay for this with a great Manor equaliser.
The lads regained their composure and goals from Conor once more and Lincoln Barlow gave us a 3-1 lead at the interval.
The lads really stepped on the gas 2nd half and further goals from Conor, Lincoln and Conor Hughes put some further gloss on the scoreboard.
Really strong performance all round from the Reds.
What was really pleasing was the determination to play the game the right way, in particular the composure displayed in playing out from the back.
All players got at least a full half game time , and everyone made a huge contribution to the team performance
