Forth mens c team welcomed st Leonard’s to Matt Ennis park today and cam out deserved winners on a 3-1 score line.
forth started brightly and went 1 up after 5 mins from a terrific shot from jake gilshenan. St Leonard’s got into the game and it became an end to end encounter. The game was levelled close to half time when their striker reacted quickest to a parried shot.
Forth introduced Tommy at c half and pushed Kevin on and grabbed control of the game. A beautiful corner was powered home by Nibs from close range and this was quickly followed by a sublime chip when he spotted the keeper off his line. Despite some nervy moments and a great double save from Nathan st Leonard’s couldn’t pull a goal back and all 3 points went to Forth.
Best wishes go out to Josh walsh following his recent prang and hopefully it won’t be long before he’s back between the sticks.
