Soccer – Leinster Senior Cup, Nov 2019

Soccer Leinster Senior Cup

BLACKROCK COLLEGE 4 | CLONKEEN COLLEGE 5 |
Three goals down after 28 minutes – it was an uphill battle for captain Ronan Cowhey (6th Year) and his Senior squad. By half-time thanks to the goals by Michael Leavy and Jamie Dowling (both 6th Year) we had closed the gap to 4-2.
A tremendous performance in the 2nd half produced another goal from Jamie and an equaliser from Eric Pembrey (6th Year), which brought us to extra time. Unfortunately, they scored from a free kick to seal victory.
All is not lost for the senior soccer team. There is a quick turn around against Coláiste Éanna this Friday followed by St. Johns, Ballyfermot, on Tuesday and Old Bawn on Thursday – all in the league.
I thank our coaches Mr Evan O’Brien, Ms Mullan and Peter Quinlan (Class of 2019) for their preparation of the squad.
