FAI 5 Aside Mid Leinster Finals

13/4/2016

0 Comments

 
Today our boys were playing in the Mid Leinster FAI 5 aside finals. After winning out the Offaly competition before Easter we were feeling optimistic but knew we would be playing the winners of Kilkenny, Laois and Kildare.

In our first game we played against Heath N.S, the winners of the Laois competition. We got off to a great start and Michael got an early goal. BJ made some great saves early in the game which kept us in the game. Dan and Jack also scored in the first half and we were 3-0 up at half time. In the second half the defense stayed strong and we managed to win the game 4 - 0 thanks to another goal from Michael.

In the second game we had to play Kildare. It started off with goals flying in at both ends. We went 2-1 up when Sam scored his first goal of the day. Jack and Michael got one each in quick succession. Jack finished off the scoring to make it 4-1 at half time. In the second half Sam scored another goal and the game finished 6-1 to Durrow.

We needed at least a draw in the last game to ensure we qualify for the Leinster finals. The game started off and Michael continued his scoring form with a hat-trick early in the first half! Dan then scored the fourth and Jack got the fifth. Sam came up from the defense to join in the scoring and grabbed a brace of goals. We were 6-0 up at half time. Ten mins away from the Leinster finals and the nerves crept in. Kilkenny started to play better and managed to get a few goals. BJ made some great saves again and the defense was tested. The game finished 6-4 to Durrow and there were huge celebrations as we had booked a place in the Leinster finals on the 28th of April.
