Game Of The Month
The U.15s kicked off the SFAI Evans Cup campaign in Mount Temple, Co. Westmeath as they took on ADSL outfit and last years double winners, Temple Villa. Westport dominated the game for large periods and were a constant menace against a Temple Villa side that showed that they could play themselves. Westport were worthy winner, coming away with a comfortable 4-0 win with goals from Gary Barnicle, who hit a hat trick and Killian Browne, though Temple Villa had chances.

THIS prolonged affair which started on January 31st eventually came to a conclusion on Sunday last when Westport United edged out the home team. Readers may recall that extra time should have been played in the original game but an administrative error on the match card led to the game concluding at the end of the ninety minutes. The Connacht FA ruled that the game be replayed in Galway with Westport being financially compensated for having to make the trip on a second occasion.

Corrib Rangers (Galway) 4
THIS was more like it. A barnstormer of a match between two totally committed teams that reminded everyone why the Connacht Cup means so much to footballers.
The Juniors exited from the FAI Junior Cup yesterday on a 4-2 scoreline at the hands of Manulla. It is the first time in nine years that Westport lost to Mayo opposition and failed to make the open draw in the competition and it is only the third time that Westport lost over ninety minutes over that period. Vinny O’Malley and David Cameron netted.
The Juniors travelled to Ballyheane in an important league game, in which a win would keep the pressure on Ballina Town. Westport got off to a disastrous start as they found themselves 2-0 down with two quick goals. Supporters that travel to Pat Quigley Park would tell you that when Westport goes down, they never win, but the history books were torn apart when David Hoban finished off Dave Horkan’s header.
United made it 2-2 when Vinny O’Malley finished off David Cameron’s perfect assist. The second half was equally as pulsating and United finally hit the front when Vinny O’Malley flicked the ball over the keeper and slotted the ball into an empty net. Ballyheane came back near the end to make it 3-3 with a spectacular lob-volley. The clock was winding down before Westport were granted another lifeline, when Dessie O’Malley headed in Dave Horkan’s free kick to go 4-3 up. Westport got a massive let off at the death when Ballyheane rattled the crossbar but the visitors grimly hung on to a 4-3 win that keeps them in the hunt for the League Title.

A HAT-trick for Dessie O’Malley helped United maintain their 100% start to their title defence while for Kilmore it was a further reminder of the harsh realities of life in the top division. United were comfortable throughout without ever having to really stretch themselves on a sultry Saturday evening at the Sports Park.
Dillon’s Cross (Cork) 2
Westport United 3
A first forty-five minutes to forget, a second, which proved that the hunger still exists, and a finale that had the visiting supporters lurching from deflation to elation within the space of thirty seconds. In other words, a typical FAI Junior Cup outing for Westport United. It’s never straight forward (and it should have been last Sunday) and if there is a junior team in the country who puts those close to them through the mill in the same way as this United team manages on a regular basis, then we’d love to meet them.
