U15 Division 2 Shield Final Report:

Our U15’s made the trip to Keel for the Divison 2 Shield final on a wet and windy Wednesday evening. The conditions made it a difficult evening for football and hence the match played out in this fashion. The first half saw spa start the brighter but squandered numerous scoring opportunities in the squally conditions… as the half wore on Firies came into the game and at HT the score read Firies 0-4 Spa 0-3…. Early in the second half Spa got back into the lead and never really looked back. We were very unfortunate to have a player red carded half way through the half but the lads defended well and hit Firies for a goal with 10 mins to go…. The game was played in a good spirit with many players playing against some of their friends. In the end spa won out on a score line of Spa 1-6 to Firies 0-4. Captain Fionn Daly accepted the trophy on behalf of the squad .

Thanks to Firies for a sporting game and to all the parents from both sides for braving the conditions.
