Ballindaggin 4 Tombrack United 1
Our youngest girls side bowed out of the cup to holders and favourites Ballindaggin in a game where the girls showed great spirit and character against a very talented home side. Ballindaggin took the lead midway through first half but a goal from Mikayla Tobin Cosgrave had the sides level just before half time. An early goal from the home side had Tombrack on the back foot and as they worked hard to get back into the game, Ballindaggin scored twice more to book their place in the semi finals. Our girls can be proud of their performance against one of the best teams in the league and we can now concentrate on finishing well in division one where the girls are currently second.
Under Fourteen Schoolgirls Cup Quarter Final
Forth Celtic 3 Tombrack United 2
A strong first half performance from Forth Celtic saw them go 3-0 up in this cup quarter final but our girls showed great character in the second half to come back strongly and will feel unlucky not to have brought the game to extra time. After conceding three goals in the first half, a more determined Tombrack side came out in the second half and a goal from Aoibhe McSweeney gave a glimmer of hope and when Amy Tobin Cosgrave sent a free kick to the roof of the net, it was game on. However, Forth held firm and although they had to clear the ball off the line in the dying minutes they held on to go through to the last four. It was one of the best performances of the season from our under fourteen girls and they can now concentrate on pushing hard for promotion in the league
Under Fourteen Schoolboys Division Three
Tombrack United 3 Gorey Rangers 1
Our Under Fourteen boys completed their season with a 3-1 win over Gorey Rangers and finish the season a very creditable fourth with five wins from their ten games. They were always in control in this game and were well deserving of their three points with goals from Eavan Maher, William Kenny and Conor Salt. They are a group of players with loads of potential and are the future of the club and well done to all including manager Willie Maher and Bob Newe who assisted in any way possible when needed and club secretary Bridget Nolan Kenny who ensured everything happened as it should.
We look forward to these lads (and girl) progressing up to Under Fifteen next season
Under Eighteen Schoolgirl Sevens
Tombrack United 1 Gorey Rangers 0
Our Under Eighteen girls moved joint top of the table after this win over a Gorey Rangers side who worked hard defensively. Tombrack dominated the game for the full fifty minutes but Gorey proved a stubborn defence to break down until the home side were awarded a penalty in the final minute which Becky Connaughton held her nerve to convert to give the girls a well deserved three points and their fifth win of the season. The girls are now in a very strong position with two games to go and its in their own hands as they play their closest challengers in those games. Well done to Pat and the girls for doing well at a very difficult age group.
