⚽️ U15 Boys
The U15 Boys welcomed New Ross Town B to a blustery Casey Park Saturday afternoon.
Despite the Blacks starting strongly, it was the visitors who struck first, converting a free kick on the eight minute. The homeside regrouped and equalised two minutes later through a cracking strike by Rory Doyle. The All Blacks were to take a 2-1 lead in the sixteenth minute when Cory Fortune's effort found the back of the New Ross net. The visitors were awarded an indirect free kick for an alledged back pass. Their set piece effort brought the game to 2-2. The Blacks continued to create opportunities and were denied by the New Ross Keeper until just before half time, when a beautiful through ball found Darragh Houlihan who headed for goal, his initial strike palmed away but he made no mistake converting the rebound.
Half time score 3-2
The All Blacks had a dream start to the second half when an attack from the tip off found the ever threatening Cian Millar who neatly slotted the ball home. Odin Walsh thought he had nabbed the fifth goal, when he connected with a Dan Carthy free kick at the back post, but his effort was ruled offside. Debutant Chris Kelly was to score the All Blacks fifth and sixth goals with two fantastic efforts, displaying his amazing footwork to beat the visitors defence. With minutes remaining in the game a long ball found a spiriting Darragh Whelan who controlled the ball first time and laid it past the keeper.
Final score 7-2
