U14b Boys: Mooncoin Celtic 1 – 0 De la Salle

Big game today with the league leaders coming to Suir Crescent, we knew this was going to be a battle and it certainly lived up to that billing. The game started off end to end with lots of passing by both sides on heavy ground, we were first to make the breakthrough with lots of pressure we caused down both wings we won a corner took by Anil which went low across the box which Emily latched onto and send home a screamer to put us one up.

At halftime we spoke about how we expected Dls to lift there intensity which we would have to match, which we did with some unreal tackles especially in midfield which was impressive, but what impressed the most was the teams will to pass in tight areas under press and we’re unlucky not to get a few goals in the game.

Credit to all the team for the performance and makes it hard to pick a mom, but we agreed it had to go to Liam Mackey for an all round performance on the left wing the whole game was outstanding. One last note it was great to see De La Salle set up for a handshake at the end of the game after all these kids going through nearly 2 years of restrictions,

I think we have gained even more respect for De la Salle 👏🏻.
