Carniny Youth U10 3-1 CFC U10
SBYL Cup Semi Final – Norman Whiteside - Friday
As expected, the game started tight with not much between the 2 teams. Alex & Harlow kept the pressure on the CFC defenders & created a chance for Billy from a loose clearance that he hit well past the GK’s right. The Coaching For Christ boys did not give up & piled the pressure on Gary & Isaac in defence, Jake pulled out some great saves to keep us in front. Connor & Isaac combined well on the left forcing a throw which Isaac sent long for Alex to hit a sweet half volley for 2-0. Nathaniel brought some added energy in midfield to keep us solid to the break.
The second half saw CFC really trying to break us down, particularly trying to beat us on the break, but our lads stayed composed, Isaac & Gary held a good line & Jake continued to step out & clear when necessary. Harlow & Connor battled hard to get us forward from the wings, which paid off after Harlow saw his shot parried out to a waiting Billy who tucked it home for his second of the game. CFC managed to get a consolation goal near the end, but our wee reds stood strong to book a place in the final!!
