Under 17 Girls Soccer

Athboy CS vs. St. Peter’s College, Dunboyne – 4/12/17 

Our Under 17 girls’ soccer team were out in the league against a strong outfit from St. Peter’s College, Dunboyne on Monday the 4th of December.  

The game started at a brisk pace with the opponents settling quick and hitting the back of the net three times in the first half. The half time score of 3-0 did not represent the hard work and determination of the Athboy girls, they were unlucky as they hit the woodwork twice in the first half and were also dealt a tough blow as ace midfielder Leigha Greer was taken off injured.  

The second half proved to be a thrilling encounter as the Athboy girls showed great spirit and determination to bring the game back to the minimum of margins with two super goals from Orla Mc Loughlin and Holly Reynolds, the latter been a penalty. The Athboy girls looked to be making a marvellous comeback as Holly Reynolds added two more goals to her tally, finishing the day with a hat-trick. However, it was not to be as St. Peter’s showed their superior physical strength by adding on further goals in the closing stages. At the final whistle, the score was 6-4, in favour of St. Peter’s.  

Unfortunately our girls did not win on this occasion but deserve hearty congratulations on a tremendous effort, they worked tirelessly until the final whistle and showed great team spirit and comradery throughout the contest.  

Team on the day: Sophia Sherlock Abbie Walker Danielle Browne (C),  Kate Smith, Esha Hughes, Rebecca Walker, Leigha Greer, Orla Mc Loughlin, Debbie Mc Mahon, Holly Reynolds, Grace Mc Govern, Hazel Tully, Erin Dolan, Sophie Dolan, Julia Brechelke.
