Castleknock u12s gain narrow victory over WFTA in top of the table clash

It was a beautiful sunny day when we lined out for our last leage match of the season against WFTA. Both teams were very keen to win after draws in our last two encounters.

Both sides attacked strongly and Leah Byrne played a great debut performance. Eventually our efforts were rewarded when Catherine Leahy put Castleknock into the lead with a scorcing shot from the edge of the penalty box in the dying minutes of the first half.

WFTA threw everything into attack, but Lucy Hanlon made sure our defence was well organised. Player of the match was Fiona Fitzgerald who had a brilliant performance in goals. She kept a clean sheet and the final score was 1-0.

All the team can be very proud of a great first season in NDSL girls section. It has been a pleasure working with such a great team and I hope you all have a nice summer break before coming back for an even better second season.
