Declan Murray has been named man of the match vs Waterloo.

Albion took 3 points home from Whitechurch in a game which had One of Albions poorest halves of the season. Waterloo opened the scoring after a messy attemp at a clearance landed to the feet of the winger who passed the ball in to slot past Walshy. Waterloo were creating a lot of chances and at this stage the closest Albion had come was a shot from timmy. Albion did draw level after a fantastic assist from tim who heard Conan shouting, played the ball over the top where Conan had ran on, chested the ball and took it past the keeper to make it 1-1 at half time. Albion started better in the second half and made it 2-1 after a corner from james found Jason who put the ball over the line, though Waterloo will feel hard done by as they thought it wasn't all the way over the line. Albion dug deep defensively for the rest of the game and played a long ball to tim who ran clear for a one on one but was taken out of it by the last man who saw red. Final score 2-1.

Team. Walshy, ger(martin e '45), Jody, Colm, deccy, martin r, rob, james, jason(jack), Conan, timmy. Subs. Darren, Elliot, Kevin.

Albion have just 2 games left after a long season which has seen its high points and low points. The highs being:

Beating Shandon Cel 6-2 at home, beating Ballinhassig 2-0 away, beating UCC(Albions bogey team) 7-1 away, beating Rylane 7-2, reaching the Saxone Quarters, reaching the last 16 of the AOH and coming within 30 seconds of a famous win away to premier a side Springfield, Tim Harringtons massive goal scoring record, the re-signing of Frantastic, retaining div 2 status though we had been one of the favourites to going back down.

The lows being:

Losing both John Hipwell & Ben Dillon, both to cruciate knee ligament injuries, losing the Saxone quarters, losing to Springfield in the aoh, losing 4-2 to Ballinhassig to swing promotion in their favour, losing 2–1 to Ballincollig to kill off promotion hopes.

In the larger picture the pros outweigh the cons. The season isn't over yet though with 2 away trips to Waterloo and Rylane both fighting to stay in the division. Albion have a big list of injuries going into both games but will be looking for maximum points to end the season as high up the table as possible.

On behalf of everyone at De Courcey Albion, we would like to wish Ben Dillon a speedy recovery from torn knee ligaments suffered in the game vs Ballincollig last week. Dillon has made a big impact in his first season at the Albion and will be seen as a massive loss for the remaining games.
