The lads turned in a wonderful performance to overcome St John the Baptist Primary School in the final of the Cumann Na mbunscol ‘A’ league.
The game turned out to be an absolutely fabulous display of skill and bravery from both teams. The game started at a ferocious pace with both sides putting in some great challenges and displaying a will to win.
Our joint captains, Samir O’H and Jack T led by example in the middle of the field and set a work rate which was mightily impressive. Niall D’s movement along with clever play from our forward line put us in front just before the half time whistle.
The boys continued their wonderful efforts in the second half. With conditions getting worse by the minute, it was not a day for the faint hearted. Our defence held strong and the encouragement the team gave each other was especially pleasing. The team kept playing fast paced football which saw us come out overall winners with a score of 3-8 to 2-4. The boys certainly had to work for their win in what was an extremely tough encounter.
This is a great bunch of footballers who work very hard for each other. Mr Cunningham, Paul and Frank are very proud of the team. Well done lads.
