Our Under 14 Squad made the early trip to Tralee , County Kerry this morning to take on the mighty St. Brendans Park FC .
After our hosts recently qualifying for the Quarter Finals of the National Cup , our Boys knew the huge task that awaited them . We found ourselves go 1-0 down from a set piece , an in swinging corner to the back post early on . To our boys credit we equalised only a couple minutes later through a set piece of our own , a free kick from the edge of the box by Mark Regan . We then took the lead , some great football played , Ned O’ Reilly played a lovely pass to the advancing Mark Regan who again saw his strike hit the back of the net 💥 The hosts levelled right before Half Time through a long range set piece that found its way into our own net . 2-2 at Half Time . Both teams continued to create chances in the second half but neither team was able to find the third goal for their team . We headed to extra time and still the scoreline remained level . Onto the dreaded Penalty shootout to decide - 2 Big saves from our Goalkeeper Joe McMahon and Penalties converted for us by Mark, Dan, Ned and Toby saw us win the shootout . Well Done to all Players and Coaches involved and Thanks to all who made the journey to attend and support the team . Thanks to our hosts for their hospitality after the game and we wish you all the very best of luck for the Quarter Final of the National Cup and remainder of your National Cup journey .
Our Boys can now look forward to a Regions Cup Final .
