Moral victory!

SIL went down 5-2 to rivals Sporting Abeerbelly last night but probably came out the moral victors. A win for the boys was unlikely but they worked as hard as they could and put in a good performance. They actually went in the lead when Matt's goal did some pinball on the way but then the opponents football ability took over and they scored 4 well made goals without reply. Luke dragged one goal back to set up an exciting finish but a fifth for the visitors put the game out of reach.

The scoreline reflects the abilities of the two teams but it was never the walkover that was expected from Sporting. Strikeitlucky gave a good account of themselves and go into the next game against struggling Strike Force with renewed optimism.

Craig Powell is still out with his cracked ribs but Ozzy, who missed last night through man-flu, should be fit to return!
