Our under 20s continued their impressive pre - season form with a hard fought win over Mount Mellicks senior side. Two goals each from Ben Finnegan and Zack Jones completed a 4 - 3 win for Des Connolly's side.
The lads conceded an early goal after having a good finish disallowed for offside. After 20 minutes, Ben equalised for Knockmitten after he was played through by Calvin Connolly. He chipped the keeper and sent the ball into the bottom corner.
Knockmitten continued to pressure the visitors but the teams went in level.
Despite starting the second half the stronger side, Mount Mellick were undone by the pace of Zack Jones. He latched onto a chipped pass by the impressive Calvin Connolly, rounded the keeper and slotted the ball into the net.
Mount Mellick equalised again directly from a free kick but Knockmitten were back in front only minutes later after some fantastic individual play from Zack on the left. He cut throught the Mellick defence and slotted the ball past the keeper.
Mount Mellick equalised again through a penalty but the final goal was scored by Ben Finnegan who chipped the keeper again to seal a tough win for United.
