Our under 17 Boys soccer team got their season off to a flying start last week with a hard-fought win away to Newport College.
The game began with both side reluctant to give too much possession away. The game then came to life with a strong run into the box from Jake resulted in him being fouled and taken down for a penalty. He dusted himself down and tucked the ball nicely into the corner for 1-0
Newport grew into the game and drew level halfway through the first half with a very well taken free kick. They then began to pile on the pressure with the aid of a stiff breeze took the lead with moments to go in the first half.
Nenagh grew into the game in the second half and drew level shortly after the restart with another well taken strike by Jake. You could see Nenagh’s confidence was up, and they struck again shortly after with a well taken goal by Aaron.
Newport began pressing hard for an equaliser and were made to pay when a fine break from Nenagh led to Tino putting us 4-2 up.
Newport had not given up and with less than 5 minutes left on the clock scored against the run of play to set up a nervous last few minutes, or so it may have seemed.
Direct from the restart a mesmerising run by Aaron led to him finishing excellently into the bottom corner.
An excellent start to the season for the boys.
Thanks to Newport for an excellently contested game.
