Latest results
A hard-fought 2-0 win for the bhoys in green at home against the always difficult Higgins.
Seeing a lot of the ball early, Aliaks opened the scoring after some good play down the left from Vince, followed a string of missed chances. Higgins, as expected, grew into the game, putting us under severe pressure. With his first touch Giulio slotted home to put the game out of reach, having been played through by evergreen Alva.
MOTM: Vince
FC Irlande Men’s 1 were back in action this afternoon at our familiar Nossegem ground, although this time we were the away side, taking on league champions Azur.
With a strong wind behind us in the first half, there were some early signs of promise. We came close to opening the scoring when a deflected Alvaro corner clipped the underside of the bar, but the breakthrough had to wait until the stroke of halftime. Vincent whipped in an inviting cross and Erik was on hand to get on the end of it and make it 1 0 going into the break.
Straight after the restart, with the wind now against us, Erik popped up again for his second of the afternoon. A huge goal that really set the tone for the second half.
We kept pushing and were rewarded with a third when Vince intercepted a wayward pass, rounded the keeper nicely and calmly finished to make it 3-0.
From start to finish, it was a proper team effort. To a man, we showed great desire, worked for each other and made sure we got the job done.
Next up is Higgins Pumas, back in Nossegem next Saturday, where we’ll be looking to build on this good run of form.
FCI Firsts 5-1 British United
The Firsts were back in Nossegem today for our third game of the season, taking on British United.
We got out of the blocks early with a tidy free kick just outside the box from Bodley, on his supposed weaker foot, to put us 1-0 up.
The next 10 minutes was the Vince show as he tore up the left wing, with a quick fire brace putting us 3-0 up after just 15 minutes.
British United managed to pull one back before half time, making it 3-1 at the break.
Normal service resumed shortly after the restart when Aliaks played an inch perfect pass into Timo, who coolly slotted it into the bottom left corner. His first goal for the team on his first start.
10 minutes later, Filip popped up with a deserved goal as he stretched to meet a cross from the left and put us 5-1 up.
This was the final score as we comfortably saw out the game and picked up another three points.
Onto next week, where we take on last year’s league champions, Azur.
