CSSL U13 Cup Semi-Final

Shannon Town Utd 3

BunrattyCratloe FC 2

Brave performance from U13s in their Division One cup semi final away vs Shannon Town in front of a boisterous crowd. We had the better of the game overall with more possession and chances. We went one nil down to a good finish and it was that way at half time. We forced a few good saves from their goalie and hit the crossbar while Cian McInerney was rock solid for a good chance they had. In the second half, Donnacha slotted a penalty before Gareth Murphy put us 2-1 up with a great strike. They got us back to 2-2 and everyone was preparing for penalties when their no 10 Liam stuck a half chance in the top corner from 25 yards out. An absolute cracker of a goal to be fair. " Take a bow son"

Disappointed faces all round but nothing to be ashamed of - they died with their boots on and on another day could have won.
