Final Score Towers - 6 goals and 4 points to Gaels 13 points
We travelled up to Greenford with our U16 panel of boys yesterday to face the Gaels in what was a most enjoyable watch for all who were on the side line supporting the Towers' boys.
We had the full management committee in attendance with Michael Maher, Declan Egan and Jerry O'Leary.
The Towers started really well and put together some fine passing which paid off with their shooters finishing off the job by putting the ball where we all wanted to see it - in the back of the net.
The team comprised many of the boys from last year's successful U14 panel plus a superb set of boys from the U14s

Edward Howford, Kieran Howard, William Rainbow, Sean Bennett, James McInnes, Joe Fortune and Michael White
It was great to see that the U14 boys were not at all intimated by their older opponents and as a result played a key part in their team's victory, particularly one player who, for me, was the MAN OF THE MATCH........ Our superative goalie - MICHAEL WHITE, who protected his goal with his life and allowed NOTHING to go past him.
While his brother made sure our goal was secure, Joe White did his job by ensuring that the ball did find the back of the Gaels' net - Joe's final tally was 3 goals with others coming from Mark O'Leary's boot (Mark celebrated his 15th birthday yesterday), our Captain, Josh Bargary, and the sweet boot of Ben Checklit. Points are always very important and these were provided by George Ransom, Edward Halford, Joe White and Ben Checklit.
The boys in defence did their job and hazzled the Gaels who looked as though they were going to put a few in our net but together the U16 won the day. There is great comradie between all the boys and is clear to see for those of us who have a joy of watching you guys win. Well done to all.
Our U16s will meet their great rivals, Dulwich Harps in Mitcham on this Tuesday evening. The game starts at 7 pm.
