This was our final game of the season, in which we were losing 2-0 at half time. With nothing but pride to play for, Keith’s rousing team talk at the break sparkled us into life! Just 7 minutes into the 2nd half, substitute Tshepo pulled one back with a sweet strike, followed 3 minutes later by another sweet strike – this time from Paddy Cook. Another impact player Frankie Nolan’s nice header from a Jeff De Castro corner in the 72nd minute put us in the lead, before Cian Hanlon (the third impact player) made it 4 (his first goal for VEC) and Paddy Cook’s second made it 5 with 10 minutes remaining. Despite a consolation goal by the home team in the dying minutes, it was a great 2nd half as we ran out comfortable 5-3 winners.
