Beating this team once this season already we travelled down to Omagh expecting a win, as per usual our expectations were not met.

East were out classed and out played most of the match and rarely showed the flare of the skilled and useful team that they are. Controversial decisions saw Mark McKenna sit out the last 10minutes of the first half and in this time East actually looked the more composed side not leaking a goal. The only explanation I can give for this is that each individual player realised that with one less player on the field they would have to try harder. If we as a team could only have that attitude the whole way through games more wins would come.

Unfortunately with Marks return to the field only more goals for the opposition came. It has been said before and concentration for 70mins is vital if we hope to make any sort of move in the league. Fitness training has now begun on a Tuesday night at the academy sports club so I hope to see high numbers as all players could be doing with the training.
