29 June 2022

GOALKEEPER Oliver Dunlop was the hero in the senior section of the Killyleagh Summer League.

The ‘keeper put on a one-man display to give his side a chance of victory at 

the Bridge Centre playing fields in the latest round of games last Wednesday night.

But in the end he was powerless to stop cousins Oran MacCleod and Jake Stronge as they combined to power their team to victory. Also another outstanding display of wing play from Kayden Blaney for the winners.

Harry Anderson, Sam Bridges and Lloyd Barker were the pick of the losing teams.

Leighton Jackson, Artur Bondapenko, Ollie Nelson, Harry Simpson, Liam and Mason Henderson, Tyler Terry, Bailey Withers and Jake Craig played well.

Scarlett Lawlor, Amy Quinn, Jenna Watson, Cara Carlisle, Megan Watters and Chloe Brown played an impressive role.

The senior penalty king was shared between Sam Bridges and Harry Anderson, with Jenna Watson, Amy Quinn, Cara Carlisle and Scarlett Lawlor the penalty queens.

Juniors

Jasmine Love impressed with her skill levels in the junior section and she was the stand-out female performer this week.

A five star rating once again from Leyton Savage on his promotion from the minors to the juniors.

The junior penalty king was Jacob Munyangaju and the penalty queen was Katie Green.

Minors

Lexie Withers delivered the top performance among the girls in the minor section. Alyvia-Beth Thompson, Mia Nelson, Bethany Jackson, Bella Henderson, Eloise Moore and Amelia Munyangaju also performed well.

Demi-Rose Breen, Myla Killops, Isla Dunlop, Eloise Reid, Isla Carberry, Emily Smyth, Scarlett Stewart and Samantha also played their part.

For the boys Matthew Quinn and Riley Pickering both hit the target in a free scoring display.

Big mention too to the twins, Ilia and Viktor Berezvn, with Ilia scoring his 

first goal since his arrival from Ukraine.

Other names for the future include Jacob Watters, Kai Gordon, Alexander McCourt, Riley Marshall, Jaxon Shields.

The minor penalty queen was shared between Amelia Munyangaju, Mia Nelson, Demi-Rose Breen and Ella Louise Moore. The minor penalty king was Matthew Quinn, Riley Marshall and Kai Gordon.

Tinies

The Tinies continue to go from strength to strength, with Noah Sullivan and Mason Marshall the penalty kings, and Isla the penalty queen.

Rocco Rice and Dean Doherty both tried hard, with Noah and Mason also playing well.

The League continues at 7pm tonight, with the seniors (P5 to P7) at 8pm.

Parents are asked to keep an eye on the Killyleagh Summer League Facebook page for photos and regular updates on weather and games, especially on Wednesdays. On nights of very heavy rain, there will be no action.
