Having been promoted back into the Premier Division, it was a tall order to meet the current champions in Terenure on a dull Wednesday evening. And so it turned out, as the visitors scored in the 35th minute followed by a second on the stroke of half-time. It was a real uphill battle when they got their third goal just 8 minutes into the second half, and while we failed to seriously threaten their goal, every player gave it their best, particularly Colly Power who was arguably VEC’s m-o-t-m with some great saves. On a side note, It was baffling to see a former professional footballer with 9 international caps, as well as former League of Ireland players playing junior football for Blackforge FC in the UCFL!
