Soccer U.15 Win

Wexford C.B.S......4  Kilmuckridge V.C..........1

Wexford CBS U-15 travelled to Arklow Town’s all weather pitch to play Kilmuckridge VC in the quarter final of the Wicklow Wexford School League. Strong winds and heavy rain made conditions very challenging. CBS played with a strong gale at their backs in the first half.

The wild conditions made the game very scrappy with neither team threatening early on. CBS had two good chances late in the first half but Kilmuckridge defended both well. CBS sub: Ryan Busher for Cormac Byrne. Rain got heavier and the game deteriorated. Passes were misplaced and ball control was problematic on the greasy surface. Half-Time 0-0

Second Half

A mix-up in the CBS defence led to a speculative effort from Kilmuckridge’s midfielder. CBS goalkeeper Conor Coleman let the ball slip from his grasp and into the net, Kilmuckridge 1-0 Wexford. Wexford’s urgency was now evident, they attacked at will. Dylan Ennis missed a good opportunity. Minutes later Dylan was put through again and this time made no mistake. 1-1.

Wexford’s back four of Alex Lohier, Ryan Byrne, Kevin Harte and Mark Doyle were well on top now. Liam Rockett broke down the left and crossed for Matthew Creane to head home, 2-1 Wexford. Kilmuckridge’s spirit was now broken. Wexford Sub: Cathal Kirwan for Ryan Busher.

Wexford broke forward again, Matthew crossed for Eoin Doyle to slot home Wexford’s third. CBS sub: Micheal Lalor for Dylan Ennis. Kilmuckridge pushed forward looking for a way back into the game.

Conor Coleman made two good saves in quick succession and Wexford defended bravely. CBS once again broke forward, Micheal Lalor supplying the pass for Eoin Doyle to score his second. 4-1.

In the remaining few minutes the scrappy play returned as conditions seemed to worsen.
