U14B Girls Cup: Ballyduff 5 – 3 Mooncoin Celtic


After Extra Time.


Heartbreak for our younger U14 girls in the splendid St Nicholas Park where a real humdinger of a cup tie took place. It was end to end throughout with our girls leading 2-1 at half time thanks to Lexi Walsh and Anna Reddy.

Lexi continued her hot streak with another just after half time but Ballyduff were not done and dragged themselves back in to the game with their second.

The clock was just up and referee Owen Tubritt had his whistle ready to blow when Ballyduff equalised with the last kick of the game. Extra time saw a tired team succumbed to a Ballyduff side who kept at it in extra time and deservedly went through to face Dungarvan United on Tuesday evening in the semi final.

A brilliant season by this group has unfortunately ended and they will be a force next season at U14 level with everyone of these girls still underage next season again.

Massive thanks to the coaches and especially all the parents who have supported their daughters throughout a long season, through ups and downs.
