St Johns Notes
April 07, 2014Amy Doran and Oran patrolled midfield while Christopher Cope tidied up most of the spilled ball in defence. Up front Ryan Morgan, Oisin Hastings and Se Murray provided the scores. Damien McMullan worked tirelessly and scored a great goal in the dying minutes. Aron Kelly and Oran Branniff moved well when introduced and Sam O'Connor finished the game well. This performance sets the Johnnies up for their next game. Check out the club website for updated fixture details.
