A beautiful summer morning, hot and sunny, Eammon sorry to forget his sun cream!
18 players arrived in Phoenix on an immaculate 4g astro pitch that seems to be bigger than most.
Larkview started the game extremely well and spent the first 10 minutes in the host's half. But without creating too much of a danger.
Phoenix will come into the game after that, but it is on an extremely well worked counter that Larkview open the score via Barra after an excellent work on the right by Adam R 16th minute.
After the goal the game was closer to a 50/50, toward the end of the first half Phoenix was much more into the game and, without too much of a surprise, equalized 26th minute.
The second half Larkview produced was of the highest quality, the combined introduction of Billy and Cian in the middle of the pitch asphyxiated Phoenix and Larkview double the score with a stunning effort by Cian 44th minute.
Phoenix earned a dubious penalty after a tumble in the box while defending a corner, but the spot kick was wide.
The second half was extremely well controlled by Larkview who seemed to go toward its 2nd win of the season in as many matches, however a hopeful ball in the middle of the pitch seemed to be well in control be the Larkview defense, however the referee seem to thing a pull happened and awarded a last minute free kick. It would be Phoenix chance: 69th minute

Great performance by the lads, not the result they hoped for or deserved, but let's keep the positive!
