(U14's Div 1)
The first run out for the newly promoted Magpies was a tough away test against Corinthians.
Corinthians had the better part of the beginning of 1st half and took the lead. This spurred on the attack minded Magpies who began to take the game to Corinthians and through this were awarded a penalty just before half time which was scored by Daragh Savage.
The second half was played at a frantic pace by both sides, however Corinthians began to take more control over the game.
This pressure paid off which allowed them to take their chances and Corinthians led into the latter stages of the second half by 3 goals to one.
It would possibly have been more however the superb saves by Magpies goalkeeper Neil Barrett kept the score the same until the final whistle.
The Magpies team should take great heart from this first performance. There is all to play for.
