U16 MGL Cup Skerries 3 Leixlip 8

Good win for the girls today in a crazily windy pitch on a hilltop overlooking the sea. We were on top from early and scored 6 goals in the first half with the wind at our back. Second half we rotated players and it was more even - but we were comfortable throughout. Great for a few players to score who don't usually. Goals from Jae Howard (3), Emily Lynch, Ciara Stanley, Abbie Creeby, Niamh McClean and Katie Allen.

Under 18 girls, Q/F cup Rush 2 Leixlip 1

The players battled as hard as they could but fell short in the end.

16P1 Leixlip Utd 2 Home Farm 1.

Another hard earned 3 points against really tough opposition. Adam Rock put us ahead in the first half after rounding the goalkeeper and slotted the ball home. We spurned a few chances to increase our lead and just before half time Home Farm equalised with a header from a free kick. The second half was fairly even until Rock headed home the winner with less than 5 minutes left. We move on to our big SFAI Cup game against Ballyjamesduff FC next Saturday on the astro at 12pm.

Under 18s. Leixlip 2 v 0 Portmarnock.

We did not reach the heights of last week but got the job done in poor conditions. Goals from Tom Lalor and Luke Gorman.

U14-6 Dalkey 1-2 Leixlip

Trip out to the seaside this morning, but it certainly wasn't the day for it, conditions made for a tough game for both teams, 0-0 at the half with chances few and far between. We took the lead through Sean Duffin but a scramble in the box let them in for an equaliser, we dug in and a lovely solo effort from Noah Dagg sealed the 3 points.

U16 Saturday Mount Merrion 0-5 Leixlip

Nice to bounce back with a win, atrocious conditions this morning made for a tough time for both teams, we were good first half without being great and went in at halftime 2 up, we played better second half and added 3 more for a good win.

Scorers: Adam Dagg, Rob Paoleti x2, Josh Lee, Nathan O'Connell
