U-15 Soccer Leinster Quarter Final

Wexford C.B.S  1-2 De Le Salle Dundalk

CBS U-15 soccer squad were eliminated on Thursday 5^th from the Leinster U-15 Schools tournament at the quarter final stage, losing 2-1 to De Le Salle Dundalk.

Wexford had taken a 1-0 lead early in the second half through Kallum Broaders. Each side has periods of dominance in the game but when Wexford lost goalkeeper Luke Moloney to injury after he bravely blocked a De Le Salle scoring opportunity, it proved to be a turning point for the Dundalk side. They piled forward in search of an equaliser. Their equaliser arrived after a corner from the left led to a scramble in the six yard-box, the ball was eventually bundled into Wexford’s net. 1-1.

A free-kick just ten minutes later produced their winner. Wexford’s replacement goalkeeper Dylan French’s attempted save was unsuccessful as the ball bounced into the CBS net. 1-2. The CBS boys did have chances to equalise but Leon Nolan twice and Shane Bergin both failed to find Dundalk’s net as CBS were unlucky not to at least force extra-time. So the U-15’s season came to an end after an impressive year in which the boys captured the Wicklow-Wexford Title.
