STAR MAKE IT INTO THE LAST 8 OF THE JUNIOR SHIELD
Crumlin Star 1-0 Newington YC II
Crumlin Star reached the last 8 of the junior shield after victories over Newington YC II & Colin Vally in the space of five days. On Tuesday the Star played a youthful Newington side at the Junior Stadium in front of a large crowd. The start of the game was played at a blistering pace with some fierce tackles put in from both sides. The Star struck the woodwork no less than three times in the opening stages with Newington also going close as McAlea had to clear a goal bound effort of the line. Paul Brown missed the best chance of the game on the stroke of half time when Joe Gormley's shot was push into Browns path but the Star strike blazed over from a couple of yards out. The second half was dominated by the Ardoyne side but again some bad finishing and dogged Newington defending kept the score level. The Star finally got the break through they deserved midway through the half when Braniff put Paul Brown through on goal for the prolific goalscorer to fire the ball home and put the Star into the next round.
Colin Valley 0-3 Crumlin Star
The Star travelled to Poleglass for the next round of the shield to face new Amateur league side Colin Vally. The first half was a dire encounter as the home side played with one upfront and crowded the midfield to try and stop the Star from getting into any rhythm. Chances where few and far between but Mooney & Gormley did miss two guilt edge chances when they broke clear only to be denied by the home keeper. Straight from the second half kick off the Star where awarded a penalty when Burns's through ball somehow made it through to Mooney only for the striker to be hauled down by the Colin Valley keeper. Sean Brown stepped up and made no mistake with the finish to give the Star the lead. Soon after it was 2-0 to the Star when Reid and Mooney worked an excellent move down the right with the latter crossing the ball in for Dam Whelan to flick the ball home with an exquisite back heel. The home side then pushed forward to try and save the game but the Star where happy to soak up any pressure and hit them on the break. As the game came to an end the Star did hit the home side on the break for Joe Gormley to fire the ball past the Vally keeper to cap of an excellent five days for the Ardoyne side.
Next week the Star are away to Newry to face Park View in the Junior Cup. |

CRUMLIN STAR II 0 - 0 BLOOMFIELD II Star II were held to a scoreless draw against a battling Bloomfioeld side at Mallusk. This was Star's first game in 6 weeks and this told in the early stages with Bloomfield having the better of the play however they caused no danger to Mc Neill in goal. Star came more into the game and the midfield of O Halloran, Gormley, S Murray and Cairns got on the ball more to get Star's passing game going. Star's first chance fell to Doyle who shot straight at the keeper and M Hawkins saw a header go over the bar from a corner. Some good play down the left from O'Neill and Cairns saw O Halloran get a sight on goal but his shot was blocked on the line. Star then hit the post twice in quick succession when a Gormley shot hit the post and the rebound fell to O'Neill who hit the post as well and with the an open goal Toner missed from 5 yards after the ball hit of his heel. The second half saw Star start brightly with O Halloran having a few shots on goal and Doyles pace and direct running creating himself some chances however his shots were off target. Star had 3 corners in a row and Doyle and Mc Mullan hit the bar and the keeper pulled of a good save from a flick on at the near post. Star backline of Mc Mullan, Hawkins, debutant Steveson and O Neill were comfortable and had very little to do. Star made a few subs with Cairns, Murray and O Halloran bein replaced by Quail, Mc Coey and D Murray. Star pressed for the winner but would come up short and had to settle for a point. F/T 0-0 |
