The very best of luck to our Rossie Senior Team who take on Cavan
in the Qualifier Series in Breffini Park Cavan tomorrow evening (July 12th) at 6.00pm
The boys from Kilteevan National School came out on top of a 27 school 7 a side soccer competition and brought home the trophy for the first time in history, when they defeated St John’s National School 5 nil in the final in Donamon.
It was the culmination of a wonderful effort from the boys which saw them win all 4 games in the qualifying tournament scoring 21 goals and conceding 0 goals to top their group and advance to the finals day.
On a very hot and sunny day in Donamon, finals day began with a tightly fought 1 nil victory with the only goal of the game being scored by Ciaran Coyle.
That victory was followed by impressive 3 nil and 4 nil victories to again top their group and ensure Kilteevan advanced to the semi final where the victors would advance to the A final and runners up advance to the B final.
In a tight and fiercely contested semi final, Niall Brennan scored the only goal of the game to ensure Kilteevan had the opportunity to go one better than last year, when they narrowly lost out in the A final.
The final began against a talented St John’s team with Kilteevan creating opportunities and continuing to defend very well aiming to continue the trend of not conceding any goals so far in the tournament.
Shortly before half time Robert Owens crossed the ball from the left wing and Erik Horvath connected superbly to score the first goal and send Kilteevan into half time ahead.
With added confidence, intensity and a sheer will to win Kilteevan stepped up a gear in the second half and saw Robert Owens score a superb hat-trick to overwhelm a gallant St John’s team.
The final was completed with a stunning goal from Callum Coughlan to round off a 5 nil victory and complete a remarkable record for goalkeeper Noah Fallon of an amazing 9 consecutive clean sheets over the qualifying and finals tournaments.
The victorious team were presented with their medals FAI President Paddy McCaul in the Community Centre last Wednesday night.
Congratulations to squad, their trainer Anthony Owens and their teachers Mrs Brennan and Ms Giblin.
