U.15 Soccer. Wexford / Wicklow League

Colaiste Bhride Carnew 1-2 Wexford CBS

Our U15 soccer squad travelled to Coolboy Sports Field on Friday 21st Oct. to take on Colaiste Bhride Carnew in their first league fixture.
Carnew started the game strongly and were unlucky not to take an early lead after hitting the CBS crossbar just 5 minutes in. Wexford slowly came to terms with Carnew's early dominance. Some positional changes helped the boys gain a foothold in the game. Joe Barrett was unlucky not to give Wexford the lead nearing half-time. His shot beat the on rushing goalkeeper but unfortunately the ball struck the outside of Carnew's post and trickled wide. Dylan Fox replaced Darragh Collins just before the interval. Half-time score 0-0.
Wexford started the second half impressively passing the football about on the heavy surface. It wasn't long before Josh Shiel pounced on an attempted clearance and smashed the ball to the corner of the Carnew net for a 0-1 Wexford lead. The game flowed from end to end with Wexford playing the better football. Ben Hynes, Conor Foley, Robert Molloy Nolan and Liam Lahiff thwarted Carnew’s attack at every opportunity. Approaching the last 15 minutes Carnew began to push further and further forward. Evan Roche produced a couple of fine saves to keep them at bay but was unable to prevent Carnew’s excellent long range strike levelling the game at 1-1. Carnew were now in the ascendancy. Wexford's midfield of Shane O'Neill, Luke O'Rourke and Evan Farrell needed one final push to help Wexford secure the 3 points. Kyle Turner replaced Joe Barrett.
With the game reaching its conclusion and the scores level, Kyle Turner broke forward from an Evan Farrell through ball. The Carnew goalkeeper raced out to meet him and the pressure told as Kyle's shot, partially blocked by the keeper glanced the crossbar and went for a CBS corner. Kyle took the resulting corner and Luke O'Rourke headed home the winner, 1-2.The last few minutes Wexford defended well and clung on for a hard fought win.
