Kendall B reach Quarter Finals of BSSL Cup
Kendall B had their biggest win of the season with a 4-1 defeat of Playwright FC on Wednesday night in the second round of the BSSL cup.
After going a goal down to a long range Playwright effort the Kendall stuck to their task and were rewarded with a Joe Delaney goal within minutes, the young winger taking the ball in well before turning his man and shooting past the keeper.
Kendall started to turn on the pressure and were troubling the Playwright from all angles, eventually taking the lead with a great volleyed finish from Niall Gallen, on his debut, after great work down the right.
The second half was more of the same with Kendall piling on the pressure and frustrating the Playwright with a solid defensive display. The lead was extended with about 15 minutes to go when David Sheehan superbly volleyed home when he got on the end of a long range free from the right.
Kendall wasted several chances to completely kill off the game but eventually got the fourth their play deserved when Paul Garvey broke from inside his own half took the ball into the Playwright box holding off his marker before squaring for Joe to apply the simple finish for his second of the game and third in two games.
Overall it was a strong team performance from the Kendall B team who hope to bring this form into their last game in the first half of the season when they take on Boyne Gunners at Madison High School in Roxbury at 12pm on Saturday.
