Things looked bleak for the home side at half time, 2-nil down and playing without a goalkeeper it was hard to see how they could rescue the situation.

We don’t know what sage words coach Doug Cave said to his team during the break, we doubt if any tea cups were thrown. Whatever he said worked a treat as the U16s fought back with goals from Dylan Mayne, Matt Hubbold and the winner from Paddy Andrews to complete an improbable come from behind win.

Bravo to all concerned, a magnificent comeback and the U16s have hopefully earned themselves a decent draw in the regionals as group winners.
