Our Soccer Blitz Teams
The FAI Primary Schools Futsal South Kildare 5-a-side blitz for boys and girls from 4th & 5th classes born in 2006 or after was held in Kilcullen Community complex on Thursday December 1st. There were 5 schools participating in total including Moone, Scoil Diarmada (Castledermot), Scoil Phadraig Naofa (Athy), St.Peter’s (Monasterevin) and ourselves.
We had 2 teams participating in both the boys and girls competitions, a team of “All-Blacks” and a team of “All-Whites”.
Our “All-Black” girls team were unbeaten on the day, drawing all 3 of their games and had a great battle drawing 1-1 in the final game of the day with their “All-White” counterparts, who finished very strongly after a tough start to the competition. The Moone girls team came out on top of the girls competition winning out on goal difference in the end.
Our “All-White” boys team had a tough start to the competition and despite some tough defeats and a couple of very narrow defeats, they finished very strongly winning their last game on a 4-0 scoreline. They can also take credit from the fact that they gave our “All-Black” boys team their toughest and closest game of the day.
The “All-Black” boys started the tournament on fire winning 7-0 in their first game. They went on to win all of their games beating St.Peter’s of Monasterevin 4-0 in their last game of the day in what was effectively a final shootout as St.Peter’s had also won all of their games up to that point. They combined extremely well with excellent 1 and 2 touch play and teamwork throughout scoring 26 goals in total in their 5 games and conceding only 1 on their way to a fantastic victory in the boys competition. In doing so, these boys made history as the first Scoil Bhride team to ever win a soccer tournament.
All teams must be complemented on their fantastic attitudes throughout the day as they played with tremendous commitment, enthusiasm and desire representing their school with great pride and distinction.
