Our minor soccer team were put to the test in yesterday's Leinster Division 1 Semi-Final against a strong Holy Family Newbridge side. We were chasing from behind when the Newbridge side scored in the first half even though we were knocking on their door from the first whistle. By the end of full time it was 2-2 in unfavourably warm conditions. The nail biting 20 minutes of extra time left us at a stalemate of 3-3 having to go to a penalty showdown to see who would make the final.
The Loreto side were victorious 5-4 in the penalty shootout!
A huge thank you to the family and friends of the players who cheered the girls on from start to finish.
Goals from play by Sophia Gammell & Erin Moore (2). Erin who captained the side, scored one from play and one from a penalty.
Player of the match: Erin Moore (2nd Year)
