Rumm Rvrs 2v2 D3 2/05/09
GAR'S WONDER STRIKE
Dollymount had a very lack lustre first half which saw them conceding 2 goals.
The second half saw a different D.3 team. They started with much more determination to win the ball and started to pass the ball better. The more the game went on, the more dominent they became. The goal finally came 12mins into the half,.
Robbie hit in the freekick from the 1/2 way line, the ball was headed into the air at the edge of the box. Gar was just outside the area, the ball took an age to come down, but Gar just waited and kept his eye on the ball and caught it on the VOLLEY and the ball flew through about 21 players and into the net, giving the keeper no hope.
Baz broke through, one on one with the goalie, tried to round him but let the ball get to close to the keeper. That didn't stop Baz, who slide in to beat the keeper, to steer the ball home.
D.3 pushed for the winner and played some good football till the end.

Clontarf 1 v 4 Dolly 3 (shield)
D.3 WIN LOCAL DERBY with plenty in hand.
Game 2 minutes old when Gavin Hughes got the ball on the right wing and had a half hearted shot which the keeper mis read and let the ball under his foot. Clontarf equalised 25mins, a deflection in off a clontarf player. D.3 under a bit of pressure last 15 mins after they had dominated the 1st 1/2 hour.
Again D.3 started the second half the much better side and scored another early goal. Prawns throw, a flick on by Ronan, Al takes the ball under control and passes to Baz, Baz calmly passes by the keeper 2-1.
15 Min's into the half Tom chases down the keeper. Keeper passes the ball by Tom and straight to Baz. 25 metres out to the right of goal , he catches it on the volley, with all the confidence of a man who has just scored 7 goals in his last 3 matches, and the ball flies into the empty net.
With 10 Min's remaining Prawn races out of the defence with the ball from his own box and into the oppositions half, lays it off to Baz who lays it off to Al ( who gave an excellent performance as Man of the Match ) who in turn unselfishly sets up Prawn, who nutmegs the keeper and taps in.
It was a very enjoyable 4 -1 victory

BAZ'S HAT TRICK
BAZ'S HAT TRICK SECURES WIN FOR DOLLYMOUNT.
D.3 5 v 0 St Marys
This Barry "Baz" Meehan's first hat trick this season making him the leading goal scorer for D.3 ahead of Darren Freeney & Dave "DOC" O'Connor with 6 apiece.
Early on in the game D.3 where awarded a penalty, which DOC took, wearing his new white "DOC8" boots (see picture below). He struck the ball into the bottom left corner leaving the keeper stranded.
Al's pass split the defence for Baz to run on to and he had the ball in the net with a sublime finish. Dollymount 2 up at half time and in command.
In the second 1/2 half there were chances for both sides. Jez making two excellent saves and a couple of easy ones by his standards. Robbie made a great recovery, clearing of the line and colliding with the post, hurting his knee but played on through the pain barrier.
Baz scored 2 more goals in the second 1/2 half, the best been a through ball from Dave, where Baz pretended to take the ball under control but instead let it run one side on the keeper and he ran the other side, leaving the keeper rooted to the spot.
This was reminiscent of Pele in the 1970 world cup, but where Pele missed, Baz coolly rolled the ball into the empty net.
D.3 fifth goal again involved Barry, again Baz broke through, but this time the keeper got a hand to the ball and pushed up in the air. Alan Mcloughlin backing up play, beat Baz to the ball and nodded home.
The back line of Alex, Jay, Robbie & Prawn and of course Gavin Reinsford in goal, all had an excellent game. Robbie making his new role as centre half look easy and J making some very important challenges. The whole team were excellent, Ronan & Dave bossed the midfield, not allowing St Marys midfield anytime or any of the ball.
The passing and running for each other made the game that much easier to control possession and D.3 definitely had the lion's share with some well timed over lapping runs down the wings from Al, Gav, & Prawn. The Forward duo of Tom & "Player of the match" Baz showed for everything and worked their socks off . Garreth McLoughlin came on for Alex Aulisa and didn't look out of place in a strong well organised Dolly3 team.
We'll be looking forward to another fine, hard working performance like that on Wednesday, when D.3 take on Clontarf, venue St Paul's maybe moving to St Anne's if Clontarf can't open the gate.

BACK TO WINNING
ST MARY'S 2 V 3 D.3
D.3 had to start the game with 10 men, with Darren Freeney in centre midfield partnering DOC, Al McLoughlin right full, Baz & Jez wingers, James in goal, Steve the lone front man, & Garreth, Jay and Robbie the rest of the back line.
Vinny came on after about 10mins. Vinny went C/Back Jay R/Back and Al to C/Mid.
Jez went off injured 15mins, Tom coming on left side midfield. Dollymount had most of the chances in the 1st half, but only converted one. Freeney went 1 on 1 with the keeper and just passed the ball into the net. 1-0 half time.
About 10 minutes in the 2nd period, Tom came in from the left and squeezed the ball under the keeper. 2-0 and looking good, for all of a minute as D3 turned off and let St Mary's back into the match.
65mins. Dave OC hit a sweet ball into the box where Alan McLoughlin had made a perfectly time run. He took the ball down in front their keeper and tapped it in. Gav came on for Steve 70 mins.
With 5 minutes remaining St Mary's got it back to 3-2 but that's how it stayed.
The back line played excellent even with Gar's bad back, the whole team worked hard and helped each other out. It was a tough game to win, with all the forced positional changes. Freeney says he'll score 2 next week.

GAR'S GREAT GAME + DOC'S DOUBLE
Gar's best tackle was in 75th min, when a Stedfast forward, through on goal and about to shoot, Gar made a last ditch sliding tackle, winning the ball and clearing his lines.
DOC's Double; a 30 yard free into top right corner & a soaring header.
Stedfast 2 v 2 D3
Gar the player /manager had a great game against a Stedfast side,who had they won, would have gone top of the division.
Stedfast started the better and had the lions share of possession in the first half. Stedfast were winning more of the ball in midfield , which put a lot pressure on the defence. D3 defence held strong, lead by Gar, putting in well time tackles.
Things didn't look good when after 15 mins Robbie had to go off injured with a groin strain. His replacement DOB didn't put a foot wrong in the whole game. He went to make sure nobody scored from his side and that's exactly what he did. Ten minutes later Vinny went off injured with an ankle injury, being replaced by Alex, who also had a good game.
On the 20th minute, with D3 playing a high line, 2 Stedfast players were 5 yards offside but the ref. let the game go on. They broke away and gave Jez no chance.
Dollymount never gave up, even if they were a bit ragged. In the 30th minute DOC took a free kick from 25 yards and put it in the top right corner. The keeper got a hand to the ball but could not stop it.
Stedfast spent most of the last 15mins in Dollymount's half but Gar's defence kept them out. Jez making some very good saves. The two full backs, Dave OB & Alex, held up Stedfast's wing play. Paddy & Gar stopped most of the centre play with fine tackles and good reading of the game. Tom & Baz got very little service, so it's hard to comment on them. D3 made to 1/2 time 1-1.
The 2nd half was a different story, D3 were much more organised and dominated nearly the whole half. The 4 midfielders (DOC, Ronan, Al and Kinger) took control of the game. Ronan & DOC started winning most of the ball in the centre, even when Stedfast added another midfielder. Al & Kinger made some very good runs down the lines and put in some good crosses.
Shane was brought on for Tom on the 60th minute. Shane went to left mid and Mark went up front.
65th min D3 won a corner on the right, Al hit a high in swinger into the near post where DOC rose high and in front of the defence to power his header past the keeper. Going 2-1 up was nothing more than D3 deserved and could have had a lot more goals, with shots from Baz, Al, Kinger and Ronan all bringing off saves from their keeper.
Stedfast didn't give up either, in the 70th minute, Alex was chasing back after the ball under pressure from a Stedfast forward and seemed to have everything under control but just as he was about to kick into touch, he slipped and the no. 13 turned and lobbed Jez, leaving him stranded. A few minutes later a Stedfast forward broke through and he would have been straight on goal but for a great sliding tackle by Gar when it look like he had no chance of stopping the forward.
Dollymount went for the win and won more corners and had more shots on target but could not find another goal.
It ended 2-2 which was probably a fair result since it was a game of 2 HALVES.

Dolly3rd 4 v 3 Rumm
Two each for FREENEY & KINGER.
GREAT WIN to beat a battling Rumm
D3 showed great spirit and skill in horrendous weather conditions. With the wind in D3's favour in the first half the players knew they had to be leading at half time and so it was that D3 put continuous pressure on the Rumm goal. D3 have started the league badly and Rumm where 3rd in league but would have not known.
Kingers 1st. goal came from severe in swinging corner from the right into the far top corner with the keeper getting a hand to the ball but unable to stop it. That got D3 on the way, but found it hard to get another which they felt they deserved. Then Freeney to the fore and struck a sweet shot into the bottom right corner. The last kick of the half.
Rumm scored within a minute of kick-off and the pressure on D3 again, but again Freeney popped up at the back post to nod home from close range, after a very good build up which included at least 10 passes back forward and across the field.
The eleven players worked their butts off to get more goals which they should have with some lovely approach work.
Then a couple of slight slip ups and Rumm were right back in it, 3-3.
65 mins Tom came on DOB and went left mid. with Gar going to left full.
D3 did not crumble instead they fought harder for the win and some lovely football.The front line of Baz & Freeney never gave their defence a rest. The midfield made some darting runs, with Al going close a couple of times. Ronan, Tom and Kinger could have also scored. With 8 minutes remaining Kinger came through again to score the winner.
D3 defence, of DOC ,J , Vinny, DOB, andGar who had played with great determination throughout the game,helped from the non-stop running of midfield & forwards, weathered the storm of rain and Rumm to come away with a deserved win.

D.3 3 v 4 Rialto a.e.t.
D.3 GREAT COME BACK TO GET TO EXTRA TIME.
Even do D.3 didn't want to progress to the next round, you wouldn't have known by the performance they put on in the 2nd half. D.3 had a very bad start by letting a Rialto midfielder get a free header from a corner in the 1st couple of minutes. Rialto started a lot better than D.3 but after 10-15 mins Dollymount did get into the game. D.3 played some nice football and made 3 or 4 really good chances but bad finishing. Another free header from a corner and an offside, put Rialto 3-0 at 1/2 time.
1/2 time substitutions, saw Peter Comerford go to centre midfield & Shane go to the left midfield. They came on for Dave O'B (DOB) & Alex and Ronan went to Right Full.
Dolly 3 started, after the interval, with a great purpose to get back into the game and could have scored within 15 seconds, with a very good passing move involving Al, Baz and Freeney.
Mid-way through the 1/2 after continuous pressure on the Rialto goal, Barry Meehan (Baz) finally got the goal that D.3 deserved by coolly slotting pass the keeper. Hopefully Baz will go on a goal spree, now that he's got his first goal.
Another Substitution, Gar coming on for Ronan ( who had played 2 positions C-Mid & L-Back) Gar went up front to help the attack.
Dolly 3. went to 3 central defenders, with DOC centre, Vinny right and Jason left. After a few complaints, the midfield of Al, Shane, Peter and Kinger worked their socks off to make the change in formation work and it did. The 3 forwards of Gar, Freeney and Baz made their defence suffer with their movement, on and off the ball.
Soon after, Freeney scored a wonder goal from 25 yards curling a right footed shot into the top right corner giving the keeper no chance. This was Darren's 3rd goal of the season but it should have been is 3rd of the game. When he gets his scoring boots on, the team will be hard to stop.
With 5 minutes remaining Alan McLoughlin received the ball far out left, he turned his marker and left him for dead with his first touch. He then moved in field a few yards and reminiscent of Freeney's just a while before, curled the ball into the same top corner, only this time he was 30 yards out.
Rialto got another simple header early on in extra time. D.3 did have their chances to equalise again and the lads work very hard and never gave up. But with cramped muscles and tiredness it was just beyond them.
Jez, who had a very good game in goal, making some good saves during the match, went up for the last corner of the game and just missed getting on the end of Kinger's cross. That was the last chance to go to penalties.

RESULTS 23/8/08
BAD OPENING DAY
D3 were beaten 6-0 by new boys Boco rovers.
At 1-0 at half time it seemed like D3 might get back into
the game, but that certainly wasn't the case.
D3 had numerous chances but shot weakly or well wide.
It was only with 15 mins remaining that D3 started passing the ball
and it made the end of the game a bit easier to watch.
Take nothing away from Boca, they passed the ball and finished well,
D3 did not.
Hard Luck to Dollymount 2nds
They were 3-0 down and got back to 3-2.
A great effort on their part.

RONAN STAR PLAYER
D3 5 v 0 Tymon
Jez 5mins. Alan 8mins. Freeney 17mins. Kinger 82+87mins.
RONAN STAR PLAYER IN GREAT TEAM PERFORMANCE.
With every player putting in near perfect performances, Ronan still stood out as our star player.
He covered every blade of grass.He kept winning the ball back, in every part of the pitch. He'd then just calmly look around and pick out the simple, yet effective pass.
KINGER SCORES 11 IN THE LAST 5 GAMES.
Winning a twenty spot from Jez in the process. Jez seemed to have the money in the bank, with only 15minutes left, Kinger left his midfield role in the capable hands of Ronan and went looking for goals. He got one in the 82 minute to go level with Jez and then had Jez sinking to his knees inthe 89th with a long range shot beating the keeper.
Not even D3's prolific goal scorer, Darren Freeney, could match him, he only scored 10 out of the last 5.

DOC scores a GREAT goal direct from 50yd free.(on the 1/2 way line)

DOC'S BIG DAY
Tymon Orient 3 v 5 D.3
Freeney, Ronan, Shane, Kinger(2)
Dave "DOC" O'Connor was a tower of strenght, at the centre of a defence,( Gar, Fionn,Dave OB) who all played great today. Every Ball that was hit high towards D.3 goal seemed end up being headed back up the pitch by the high jumping "DOC". If the Tymon played the ball on the ground "DOC" also made some vital tackles. As did the rest of the defence.
After a shacky start to the match, D.3 let in an easy goal in the first 5mins. But as the game wore on D.3 just got more dominant. So it no surprise that D.3 went in at half 2-1 up, with goals from Freeney & Ronan.
Scoring early in the second half relaxed any nerves. The Work rate by the midfield was phenomenal, with the centre pairing of Ronan & Kinger continually winning the battle in the middle & Also coming up with 3 goals between them. Alan & Shane, the 2 winger, combine skill and hard work to help the defence and cause lots of problems for the Tymon defence.
The foreward line of Jez and Freeney, again putting in the same heavy work load as the rest, didn't give their defence time to settle and made numerous chances.
3 Changes were made with approx. 20 mins remaining, Vinny,Robbie & James N. came on for Fionn,DaveOB & Freeney.
Having had 20 players to choose from and only being able to play 14. The support of those not playing was very much appreciated.

KINGER'S HAT-TRICK
D.3 7 V 0 Adamstown
Jez started the scoring on 5mins by lobbing the keeper. After sustained pressure on the adamstown goal the ball spun free in a crowded box, Freeney was the first to react and coolly finished. (10mins).
On the 20 minute mark, Dave OB from just inside D3 half took a throw in down the line to Shane, who headed it on to Darren, who in turn, playing a 1, 2, flicked the ball with the outside of his right boot to Jez, who returned the ball by flicking it with the outside of his left boot, which cut out 2 of their defenders. Freeney then crossed to the right side of the box where Kinger all alone volley the ball home. 35mins Kinger buries the ball into the top corner, making it 4-0 at H.T.
Adamstown put up a good display at the start of the 2nd half, making hard for D3..It was 20 minutes later before Kinger finally finished them off with another fine goal, to get his HAT-TRICK. 3 subsitutions soon followed, with Vinny, Alan and Mira coming on. Freeney bounced on a mix up between 2 adamstown defenders to slot home passed a helpless keeper(84mins). 2 minutes later, Alan, moving down the right, spotted Shane making a run into the left side on the penalty area. He picked him out with a cross pitch pass, where Shane scored a well deserved goal.

Terenure 3 v 2 D.3
After a very good 1st half, winning 2-0, D.3 made a few bad blunders to throw the game away.On a brighter note Gar scored a header which normally would be good enough to win most games and Darren kept his goal scoring record up ( but he should have had a hat trick). But even better news is the league his still in our own hands.
