Under 17 Soccer

Wexford C.B.S....1  Bridgetown....0
On Friday 11th of October Wexford CBS began their under 17 league campaign with a hard fought win away to Bridgetown. The Boker boys played some lovely football but found it very difficult to break down a determined Bridgetown side.
The game began brightly and the CBS knew they were not going to have it easy as Bridgetown hassled and harried and made it very difficult for the boys to find any rhythm. Early in the game Shane McGrath was forced into action and dealt well with a Bridgetown attack. The CBS were playing some lovely football and enjoyed the lion’s share of possession but found it difficult to create a good goal scoring opportunity. Jessie Farrell and Dylan Dixon were working well together up front and forced the excellent Bridgetown keeper into a number of fine saves. The breakthrough arrived around half way through the first half as Darragh Rossiter split the defence with a delightful through ball over the top onto the foot of the onrushing Dixon who controlled well before slotting home from just inside the box for what proved to be the games only goal.
The second half saw more of the same as Bridgetown defended deep and made it very difficult for the CBS to grab a second goal. The CBS dominated possession and to be fair defended very well when Bridgetown broke forward but could not find a way past a very determined backline and an excellent keeper in the Bridgetown goal. CBS took all three points and in a three team group that will be vital, next up is a home clash with Gorey C.S znd the Bokerboys will have to improve in front of goal to get a result there, having said that the CBS put in an impressive performance and on another day could have scored more had it not been for a resolute defence. Best on the day for the lads were Alex Bergin, Eoin Doyle and Darragh Rossiter.
