Our U14 squad faced St Mary's Irvinestown in a schools cup group stage match. Saint Kevin's took the lead with a shot from Louie, the Saint Kevin's players coming in from the corners made it difficult for the other team. The ball was then brought into the penalty area by Matthew with Shea heading it into the goal giving the home side the lead in the early minutes.
St Mary's didn't take long to level it, praying on defensive mistakes. The home side took the lead again playing brilliant football from Ryan, Louie and Tadhg. Another goal from Shea swung in yet again by Matthew for the home side to take the lead into the second half.
The second half started with both sides fighting for the win. Mistakes from the defence led to a penalty, with Conor seen below pulling off a world-class save and deflection. The away team curled in a corner and put it in just by the head of Tadhg, levelling at 2-2.
Again, the away side pushed on, smashing a volley, hitting the post and just getting it past Conor. The home side worked hard, leading to a midfielder one-on-one with the keeper and smashed it into the right-hand corner.
Final Score 4-2 to St Mary's.
