U.17 Soccer

Wexford CBS 6-1 Tullow C.S
Bokerboys begin Cup campaign with convincing victory
Wexford CBS Under 17s began their season in convincing style with a dominant display over Tullow C.S in North End winning by a score of 6-1. The CBS simply dominated every aspect of this game from the off as the energetic team effort saw them command the lion’s share of possession. Luke O’Neill started brightly down the right flank and gave his opponent a nightmare as he looked to get in behind at every opportunity using skill to get in behind opposition lines before delivering a dangerous cross into the box. CBS from the off looked hungry for victory, and the opening goal soon arrived as Luke O’Neill got to the byline before whipping in a dangerous cross which was turned into the net by a Tullow player. The game was marred by an injury to a player off each team with both being taken to hospital immediately. CBS continued with their excellent approach and moved the ball around with real purpose in a scintillating display of possession football. The bokerboys soon doubled their lead after the O’Neill brothers combined excellently Sam threaded a ball between the opposition defence and Luke took it in his stride, waltzing between two players before coolly slotting home into the corner leaving the keeper with no chance. The level of performance of the Bokerboys was impressive as Tullow simply couldn’t make it out of their own half, the hosts playing excellently should really have added many more. Sam O’Neill made it 3-0 before the break after a fine team move played him in to the box and he applied a neat finish at the near post.
The second half saw Tullow emerge with renewed energy and for the opening put in a spell of good football where they threatened to make the CBS pay. However when they did advance they found it difficult to cope with the presence of Kallum Boraders and Peter Doyle at the back. Some good build up play won them a corner from which they headed home to bring them back into the game. The Bokerboys however responded immediately and substitute Cathal Kirwan linked up well with Sam O’Neill and Ryan Busher before bundling home a shot from inside the area. From this point on the CBS again dominated proceedings with Sam O’Neill making it 5 soon after. The Bokerboys introduce more substitutes and both Todd Hynes and Leon Nolan Cullen impressed down the wings. Dion Murphy rounded off an excellent team performance in the final minute after he advanced down the right flank before cutting inside and just inside the box unleashed an effort which found the top corner of the net. The final score was 6-1 but what was most impressive was the convincing performance of the Home side if they can maintain this level of performance it will take a very good side to overcome us. Best on the day was simply every player as they all combined so efficiently and impressively to dominate this game.
