Granville 4 – 1 Aisling
3/5/08
Niall McNamara, Kieran Bennett 2, Adam
Richardson,
Granville were
unlucky to be a goal down at the break after
a lot of possession. On the turn Granville
net-minder came off injured and an
unexpected player to take the mantle between
the posts was Dylan Bourke. Granville slowly
came into the game and levelled through
Niall McNamara. Kieran Bennett moved from
defence to midfield and scored a brace
within 5 minutes one of his goals was a
volley from 35 yards into top corner to put
the us in front. With 5 minutes remaining
Dylan Bourke was called into action as took
off 2 great saves one after another to deny
Aisling. Granville then broke after a long
kick out and Adam Richardson raced down the
wing and he cut back inside and hit a
swirling ball into the net.

U12 League Cup Div 1
Joseph O’Loughlin, Niall McNamara x 2, Dylan
Kirkland, Lee Gleeson x 2.
Our
u12s
advanced to the semi final of the cup with
an easier than expected win over a Corbally
side. Joseph O’Loughlin opened the scoring
with a well taken goal and Niall McNamara
with a brace has the away side on the racks
at the half. Granville scored a further
three goals through super-sub Lee Gleeson
with a brace and Dylan Kirkland lobbing the
net-minder to finish off a great
performance.

Granville 5 - 2 Coonagh
As the last
few games come thick and fast Granville u12s
turn out another great performance in
Glenbrook. No sooner had game kicked off
Niall McNamara had the ball in the back of
the net as Coonagh trailed. As the game
settled and chances came a begging Adam
Richardson slotted home another for the home
side but Coonagh reduced the deficit to
trail by the odd goal at the half. On the
resumption Granville upped the tempo and
scored two more through Dylan Kirkland and
Glenn Richardson with a blistering shot into
top corner. As the home side settled knowing
they had the points in the bag Coonagh
scored their second of the evening. With the
game going into the final few minutes Niall
McNamara scores again to finish off an
excellent performance all round.

Granville 2 - 1 Geraldines
On Friday evening Granville entertained
Geraldines at Glenbrook. Both teams started
brightly but it was the away side who opened
the scoring when the defence failed to clear
the ball form a corner. As the opening half
came to a close Granville were unlucky to be
trailing by the odd goal. On the resumption
Granville took the game to Geraldines, Lee
Gleeson ran down the flanks and hit a
swirling ball into the path of Dylan
Kirkland who fired home form close range. As
Granville played five across midfield they
challenged for every ball and started to win
the battle as the game started to open up.
Joseph O' Loughlin who was having a great
game in midfield hit the ground with a late
challenge. As Dylan Bourke stepped up he
spotted a void in Geraldines defence and hit
a swirling ball into Niall McNamara who
pushed the ball past the keeper as he
advanced off his line. In the last few
minutes Geraldines could easily have got
back on level terms but for Granville
Stalwart Dylan O'Byrne who never puts a foot
wrong kept the runners at bay.

Granville 1 - 4 Pike
Last Friday evening our u12 were home to
Pike Rovers unfortunately things never went
right from the start. Due to one reason or
another the we fielded a weak team and
without our normal netminder one of the out
field players had to go between the posts.
When Pike centred off and with 3 passes the
ball it was in the back of our net. The team
were shocked for a few minutes but gradually
picked them selves up and got on level terms
after Niall McNamara whipped the ball into
the box from the end line and Adam
Richardson slotted home from 6 yards. Pike
again took the lead and were three up at the
break. Pike were always in control of this
game and for long periods had Granville on
the racks. Late in the game we conceded an
own goal to finish off a miserable match..
Team.
Glenn Richardson, Lee Gleeson, Eoin McDonnell, Dylan
O'Byrne, Dean Phillips,

Aisling 2 - 2 Granville
Rangers
Granville u12 were away last Monday
night to bottom of the table side Aisling. However
even though Granville went in at the break with a
one goal advantage thanks to a well taken shot by
Adam Richardson Aisling were unlucky to be trailing.
On the turn of the break the home side pushed
forward for the equaliser and with some good passing
eventually scored through Derry Griffin. Minutes
later Granville gained their one goal advantage when
again Granville hero on the night Adam Richardson
got his second. A Granville throw was flicked on by
Niall McNamara into the path on the advancing Adam
Richardson who smashed his powerful shot into
the path of the advancing Aisling player who
deflected into his own net. As the game ebbed away
Aisling left them selves exposed at the back as they
tried to get back to parity. Granville should have
killed the game but Aisling netminder Ronan Phelan
was exceptional and kept them in the game. In the
last few minutes Aislings Conor Hackett scored
the best goal off the night when he lobbed Nathan
Brereton from 20 yards to square up the tie at
two two.

Coonagh 2 - 3 Granville
Rangers
Granville who were away last
Saturday afternoon to Coonagh United were unlucky to
go in at the break a goal down having dominated much
of the first half. On the restart Granville again
had good possession but failed to take advantage.
Coonagh always looked threatening on the
attack went two up when our net-minder misread a
shot which ended up in the back of the net.
With ten minutes remaining Niall McNamara reduced
the deficit after some great play by Lee Gleeson. As
the time ticked away Niall McNamara put us on level
terms again it was Lee Gleeson who was the provider.
It looked as if both teams were going to get a share
of the spoils as the game went into the dying
seconds. The post came to Granville rescue but this
team has shown in the last few games never to give
up. Jake O' Shea hit a long ball into the path of
Adam Richardson whose shot was saved again by the
post however Niall McNamara who was on hand smashed
the rebound into the back of the net for his
hatrick.

Corbally United 2 -
6 Granville Rangers
Granville picked up their second
successive league points in a row with an away win
to league strugglers Corbally Utd. Weather
conditions were not favourable for either side as
the wind cut through the Athlunkard pitch. Granville
however went in at the break with a two goal
advantage after Jake O'Shea opened the scoring when
his bullet of a shot went in off the post and Niall
McNamara scored from close range.
On resumption of the half
Corbally had a great chance to reduce the deficit
but their effort was cleared off the line by centre
half Eoin McDonnell. Granville upped the tempo
and some neat passing between the midfielders Dean
Phillips and Joseph O' Loughlin linked up with Dylan
Kirkland who scored with an easy tap in. Three
minutes later Niall McNamara made it four and at
this stage Granville made a few substitutions. With
ten minutes remaining Corbally clawed two goals
back, this was short lived as Niall McNamara went on
a solo run and beat a couple of players to score his
hatrick. As the game came to a close Thomas Joyce
side footed the ball to Adam Richardson who shot
from close range but his effort was blocked by the
Corbally keeper however Adam got another chance and
blasted the ball into the net to round off the
scoring.

Mungret
Regional 2 - 3 Granville Rangers
Granville, who were the visitors against title
hopefuls Mungret played possibly their best game of
the season and caused the shock of the day. It was
Granville who settled quickly into their stride as
Jake O'Shea and company had the defence back
peddling in the early stages of the game.
Niall McNamara who scored a brace was a constant
thorn in the Mungrets side, got his first goal when
the home side failed to clear. Minutes later
Mungret's net minder made the best save of the day
when Niall McNamara's bullet of a shot from 16 yards
out was goal bound when the goalie managed to get
his finger tips to it and sent it out for a
corner.
At the restart of the half it was Mungret who
came out fighting and within minutes were two one up
and it looked as if it was curtains for Granville
having played a lot of the second period in their
own half. Granville never gave up and when Adam
Richardson was fouled on the edge of the penalty box
it was Dean Phillips who came up to take the free.
Dean's shot was saved by the keeper but the ball
spilled out of his hands and over the line. This
error seemed to have upset Mungret and gave a life
line to Granville as they pushed forward for the
winner. As the remaining minutes started to count
down a long ball into the box by Eoin McDonnell was
flicked forward by Dylan Kirkland and into the path
of the advancing Niall McNamara who made no mistake
as his shot hit top corner.
Team.
