Cannon's Cubs Crush Crumlin

Reigning All Ireland and DDSL champions were brought down to earth with a bump today in Tymon Park.

Crumlin started brightly, everything at ninety miles an hour, as if they were trying to put the game to bed early. Templeogue weathered the storm, even though Crumlin did not get a clear chance on goal. After 15 minutes the pace of the game slowed , Crumlin realized  that this was not going to be a walk in park.

Templeogue were the better team for the rest of the first half creating several half chances. Crumlin struggled in midfield where our three central midfielders were dominant. The visitors resorted the long ball over the top, meat and and drink to our three centre halfs. When they tried to come down the wings they were stopped in their tracks by our wing backs. The forwards harried the Crumlin defence when they were in possession. Nil all at half time.

Two substitutions a half time did not change the shape of game, if anything Templeogue were creating more and more. Crumlin were getting frustrated, arguing with themselves and the referee. They too made some changes, bringing on an Irish international on the wing and an extra midfielder to try to curb Templeogues advantage in the middle of the park.

This may have proved to be their undoing. As the game seemed to be heading for a draw Karl C, in midfield, picked out an inch perfect pass, bending the ball around the Crumlin defence, to an onrushing Ricky. Ricky's first touch put the ball over the head of the stranded Crumlin keeper and into the net from a very sharp angle.

The entire team joined in the celebration, the rest of the squad had to be held back. Three minutes to go, could we hold on? The thoughts on the spectators were turning to the Irish match the previous night. Those three minutes seemed like an eternity. Crumlin raced around the pitch like headless chickens, even jumping into the ditch to recover the ball. We survived a couple of cornors, but they posed no major threat.

As the final whistle blew realization dawned, we had beaten the top team of the last few seasons. Not just beaten, matched them all over, and gone on to surpass them.
