2010 Season

WMT U10’s hosted Geraldine Moran’s at home for their last game before the Summer break.  Due to illness Geraldine Moran’s could only mustered 9 players, so it wasn’t possible to play the normal 2 games.   A Westmanstown turned out a panel of 20 provided an excellent and committed display on a sunny Saturday morning and great excitement for the large crowd right to the very end.  

The game started with both Westmanstown and Geraldine Moran’s on the mark early.  With Westmanstown taking points from their chances they moved into an early lead, but both teams were creating chances in a fast moving game.  As the 1^st half progressed Westmanstown introduced a number of subs and continued to edge the game on the scoreboard but only held a narrow 1 score lead at half-time.

After the re-start Geraldine Moran’s started quickly and converted a number of chances into scores in quick succession to edge into a lead.  After re-grouping the team lifted their performance once more, to create a number of scoring chances through a direct attacking style.  Lead by a number of stand-up player performances the whole team fought hard from defence all the way forward with a large number of players taking chances as they came along.  As a result of everyone’s effort and determination the Geraldine Moran’s lead was cut back slowly.

As the game progressed to a conclusion the frantic pace continued, Westmanstown’s continual pressure created a number of frees and side line balls.  Fine scores from both sideline balls and distance shots started to turn the game in favour of the home team again.  In the end these well taken scores kept the scoreboard ticking over and ensured narrow a cushion and at the final whistle which saw Westmanstown Gaels come out as the victors by 54 to 47 points. 

After the final whistle both teams congratulated each other after a fine display of football and sportmanship.  Well done to everyone !!!!

WMT U10 hosted Kilmacud Crokes at home for their 1^st game after Easter.  As Kilmacud only mustered 14 players, it wasn’t possible to play 2 games.   A WMT panel of 17 provided a committed display on a sunny Saturday morning and great excitement for those that came to support our U10’s.   The game started with Kilmacud on the mark and thereby putting the home team under pressure.  As a result they moved into an early lead.  As the 1^st half progressed WMT came more into the game but struggled to turn chances into scores and thereby close the lead that Kilmacud had established early on. 

After half-time WMT started to take more of their chances while restricting Kilmacud’s attack through tighter marking.  A number of players stood-up and delivered scores for the team, and as a result WMT out-scored Kilmacud by nearly 2:1 in the 2^nd half. 

As the game progressed WMT’s pressure and scoring started to turn the game in their favour, but a couple of late scores gave Kilmacud a cushion once again.  At the final whistle Kilmacud were the victors by just 3 scores.  Both teams congratulated each other after a fine display of football.  Well done everyone!
