VEC FC v Larkview FC

This was Joey Byrne opening the scoring in the 31st minute, and then just 5 minutes after the break, he provided the assist for Pat Meghen to score our second goal. Great defending ensured that the opposition never really looked like scoring, as we took all 3 points after it finished 2-0.

Harding IF FC 2nds v VEC FC

Paddy Cook set us on our way in the 7th minute, followed by his second goal after 25 minutes. Unfortunately, we allowed the home team back into the game in the 2nd half, when they scored just 2 minutes after the re-start, and then with a sweet free kick in the 70th minute. They held out for the draw, despite relentless VEC pressure in the final 10 minutes!

Shelbourne SSC FC v VEC FC

There wasn’t much between both teams until Shane O’Connor scored the first goal in the 30th minute, heading the ball in from a corner kick (pic). Paddy Cook scored our second 8 minutes later when he squeezed the ball in at the near post (pic) and then a bizarre own goal 2 minutes before the break put us in a commanding 3-0 lead. There were very few chances for either team thereafter, until a sweet long-range strike from Paddy for his second goal with 7 minutes remaining, made it 4-0.

VEC FC v Malahide Utd 2nds

 3 goals in a 7-minute spell in the first half put VEC on the road to a deserved 3 points in this league match. Leading goal-scorer Pat Meghen opened the scoring after 15 minutes, followed by skipper Shane O’Conner’s bullet header (pic.2) and then Pat’s penalty, before Paddy Cook made it 4-0 just before half-time, with an audacious lob from all of 40 yards which was also spectacular.

Another clever effort from Paddy 7 minutes after the restart put the game beyond reach. Significantly, this was Paddy’s 50th goal for VEC. In the final 10 minutes, the visitors pulled one back, but substitute Conor Lewis (pic.1) had the final say scoring – yet again – against Malahide Utd.
