VEC FC v Harding IF FC

Despite a very good team performance, particularly from our ever-present rock at the heart of defence, Neill Love, table toppers Harding IF FC scored in the 32nd minute and again just on the blow for half-time to take all 3 points.

VEC FC v Malahide Utd.

This match was switched to Sean Walsh Astro in Tallaght, when the VEC pitches were declared unplayable. After conceding our first goal from a corner in the 17th minute, the same occurred just 5 minutes into the 2nd half, followed by a 3rd after 65 minutes. In truth, we never threatened their goalkeeper.

Coolock Village FC v VEC FC

When you analyse this game, how we lost is perplexing and frustrating! We had numerous chances to score, but failed due to poor execution and bad luck! And, of course Coolock took one of their two real chances in the game, with a sweet strike from Dermot Blaine in the 32nd minute.
Debutants tonight! Ben, Christian & Conor. Welcome on board!

Boghall Rovers v VEC FC

The score was not a fair reflection on this game, as the difference was the home team taking their chances and us not capitalising on ours! Boghall’s first came from a deflected free kick in the 22nd minute: their second came from a lovely swivel, turn and volley from a corner, after we had been threatening to equalize with a few good moves. Then, when we failed to clear our lines from another set-piece with 15 minutes remaining, the third was poked in.

VEC FC v Shelbourne AFC

A spectacular strike from Shelbourne’s Ciaran O’Rourke in the 8th minute, followed by his second goal from a set piece in the 32nd minute gave the opposition a 2-0 lead, but a penalty conversion from VEC’s Oisin Kinsella 5 minutes before half time left the score at 1-2. With no further goals, we lost our first league match of the season.
