SBYL Cup Final

In a huge match for both teams there was a mixture of nerves & excitement to start. It was our wee reds that broke the deadlock first, some great pressure on the Shankill defence from Alex & Billy saw a loose clearance fall to Gary, who cracked his shot with such power the GK couldn’t keep it out. We kept composed, Harlow & Connor brought us opportunities from the wings, Isaac & Gary solid in defence with Jake making his clearances when needed. A high overhead ball from Shankill saw their striker latch onto the ball to equalise, but our boys kept fighting & soon went ahead after a confidently struck penalty by Alex. Connor added the 3rd before half time with a super free kick from the left, at distance, smashing the top corner!

HT 3-1

The second half saw Shankill really step up the pace, Carter & Nathaniel brought us extra energy throughout, pressing & bringing us forward. We soon went another goal up, Connor working hard to win the ball & play through Alex, who took on 2 defenders & get his second of the game! He wasn’t done either, signing off his hat trick after controlling a long pass from Gary, super work. Shankill pulled another goal back at the end as a consolation.

FT 5-2

These 9 boys, Harlow, Gary, Connor, Alex, Jake, Billy, Carter, Isaac & Nathaniel fully deserved this result, gave 100% & their coaches (Gary W, John, Gary M & Konrad) couldn’t be any prouder, well done lads!!
