Kilpeacon U14 Football team played Pallasgreen on Wednesday 9th July in Pallas in the second last round of the U14 Football Division 2 Championship.
Coming up against one of Limerick’s representatives in this year’s Feile football competition was always going to be a big task but our lads stepped up brilliantly and with a brilliant team effort and performance from the starting 15 and our 3 subs we emerged victorious on a score line of 10 – 5 to 5 – 5
There were massive performances throughout the team and just to mention a few:
Our full forward Eoin Feeney scored 5 goals.
All 6 of our forward line were on the score sheet.
There was even some scores from our midfield players Timmy and Ben.
Great credit to Sam in goals who has another 3 years at this level , he stood up to lads 3 years older than him.
Chris , also U12 , who came on and scored a cracking goal.
Our back line kept pressure on the opposition and more importantly won possession from kick outs and worked the ball up the field to our forwards.
Without this hard work from the back , the scores would not have followed so it just proves that when everyone works together , results will follow.
The team lined out as follows
Sam Riordan , Thomas shanahan , Joshua Skehan Fitz , Paudie Byrnes , Colin Haigney , Ben Carew , Richard Murphy , Timmy Duggan , Conor Godfrey , Killian Scanlon , Jack Dalton , Adam Galvin , Darragh Foley , Eoin Feeney , Niall Kelly .
Subs: Chris Shanahan , Michael Maher , Philip O Toole.
So far on the Championship we’ve had 4 wins out of 5.
We are 1 point off the top of the table.
Our last game is against table toppers Naomh Bríd on Wednesday 30th July and hopefully a win will put us into the cup semi final so all to play for.
Kilpeacon is a team made up of an amalgamation between the Crecora Manister and Fedamore players.
