Men’s 2nds v Trinity October 16th
The Men’s seconds made it four wins from five with a 4-3 victory over a strong Trinity side in Grange Road on Sunday.
The students opened the lead early on as their central midfielder gobbled up a rebound from Karl Crosbie to finish into an empty net.
Glens responded almost instantly as John Stewart made inroads down the right-hand side before crossing for Stu Ronan who applied his trademark deflection finish into the corner.
The visiting side dominated the rest of the half in terms of possession with Trinity looking threatening on the counter-attack mostly. The breakthrough came in the 29th minute when Ronan doubled his tally, collecting a square ball from Colin Neville and slapping into the uncovered goal.
HT Glenanne 2-1 Trinity
Glenanne began the second half nervously and fell behind about ten minutes in. A Trinity played flashed a reverse stick shot across goal and there was an unmarked player waiting to deflect home.
Glens reply was instant, Stewart again driving forward from midfield – this time down the left-side – before crossing on his reverse side for Matty Lucas to deflect home into the side-netting.
The lead was doubled almost straight from the tip off as a short corner was won down the right-hand side. Paul Fitzpatrick surveyed his options from the top of the circle and picked out Lucas who deflected to the net again.
Trinity scored what turned out to be a consolation three minutes from the final whistle as their central midfielder strolled through the middle of the Glens defence before striking home on his reverse side with ease.
Glenanne held on for a 4-3 win, moving them to third in the table but level on points with the two sides above them (Fingal and Pembroke) and only two goals back in terms of goal difference.
