FINN HARPS UNDER 19’s          V           BOHEMIANS UNDER 19’s.                                                                                                After an evenly contested opening thirteen minutes the visitors took the lead. Harps had just created a good opening at the other end when a quick taken throw-in provided a chance for Lee Walsh but his effort was well saved by keeper Sean Bohan.  Bohemians broke out from defence and a good build-up ended with an excellent finish by Christan Magrusan who’s first touch was perfect and his finish even better as he blasted the ball past Jamie Bell.                                       Harps responded well to this early setback with plenty of possession but without really creating any clear-cut chances against a solid visitors defence. Bohs looked dangerous when breaking out with plenty of pace in their midfield and up front but after that early confession Harps also defended well.                                                                      In the 41th minute it should have been 0-2.  Again Bohs broke from defence , Dylan Thornton played a super through ball to send Ryan Graydon in the clear but the striker to shot early and Jamie Bell denied him with a super save low to his right , perhaps  Graydon will feel he should have taken a least one more touch before shooting , he didn’t and it was a big let-off for Harps. At half-time it remained 0-1 to the Dublin lads , leaving Harps with work to do in the second-half.      Charlie Collins reports from Finn Park.                                                                                                                                                                                   Harps started well and Brian Finn was unlucky when his free-kick hit the post with Bohan beaten. However they were level two minutes later when James Carolan’s cross was deftly headed home by Mark Mc Ateer for a deserved equaliser. Two minutes after that Keenan Diver had a chance following at a corner but headed just wide.                                             Then Carolan did brillantly despite being isolated in the Bohs box, his shot beat Bohan but rebounded off the post , the keeper then did well to deny Brian Finn’s follow-up. As often happens the team under pressure then grabbed the lead, a Bohs free-kick was cleared but when Peter Adigun returned it into the box centre back Lee Rock headed in past Jamie Bell and the visitors were back in the lead.                                                                                                                               Try as they might Harps just couldn’t get another equaliser and the result means Bohs move a point ahead of Harps into second spot in the table.                                                                                                                                                               FINN HARPS ;  Jamie Bell , Michael Gallagher , Corey Lee Bogan , Keelin Mc Gill , Keenan Diver , Stephen Doherty , Zac Gorman ( Kyle Mc Ginley 73 mins ) , Brian Finn , James Carolan , Lee Walsh , Mark Mc Ateer.                                                                                       BOHEMIANS ;  Sean Bohan , Andrew Lyons , Peter Adigun , Mitch Byrne , Lee Rock , Dylan Thornton , Alex Kelly , Promise Moechere , James Hamilton , Christan Magrusan , Ryan  Graydon. Subs used; Lido Lotefa and Jordan Carroll.                                                                       REFEREE;  Michael Connelly.
