Soccer – FAIS Leinster Cup Last 16 – Senior Soccer v Terenure

FAI Schools Leinster Cup
Senior Soccer

January 2024

Congratulations to Daniel Cheung (6^th year) and the senior soccer team on their 3-1 victory against a strong, physical, Terenure College team. Terenure set their stall out early and were very direct. Jay Courtney and Jack Luff (both 5^th year) dealt with the directness from Terenure very well, however, it was Terenure who took the lead from an excellent volley from their number 6. We recovered well and settled back into the game. A Luke Hayes (6^th year) volley levelled the game.

In the 2^nd half, Patrick Collins (6^th year) gave us a deserved 2-1 lead. Terenure battled back into the game and it took an incredible save from Shane Cowhey (6^th year) to keep the game at 2-1. In the dying minutes a fluent counter-attack resulted in Geordy Lavin (5^th year) square the ball to Daniel Cheung (6^th year) to give us a 3-1 lead.

This result gives the squad a home quarter-final against the winner of Naas CBS and Enniscorthy CBS. In the meantime the squad have a home semi-final in the south metro league against Clonkeen College on Wednesday, 17^th January – we wish them well!
