Match Highlights Blackrock College AFC

⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪ Leinster Senior Major 1D League Result: SCORE: Kingswood Castle FC 4-2 Blackrock College AFC GOALS: Nico Byrne ⚽⚽ Conor Leigh ⚽ Allen Haverty ⚽ REPORT: A special performance last night from this group of Players, with the visiting side first team having no game this weekend it was clear that they ment business with them packing a strong starting 11 against us ? They took the lead six minutes in which was a shock to our system but our reaction was brilliant, settling into our flowing game. Striker Nico Byrne was in unbelievable form tormenting their backline while linking up the play & testing the Goalkeeper whenever he got a chance. We should of scored earlier than we did as it was an onslaught ? we just couldn't find that finish as some last ditch defending & bad way-word finishing frustrated us all, it seemed like this could be a long night for us!! Finally the break through came just before the half time break which was a much reward with Conor Leigh powering home a close range header from a pin point Nico Byrne corner. Going in at the break was a massive plus a tactical change by our Management Team seen Allen Haverty enter the fray he's been in super form showing the depth of this squad, his link up with Murphy & Sweeney who sat just behind him contributed to Byrne scoring one minute into the second half. Five minutes later Haverty himself full of running put pressure on a back pass that the Blackrock Goalkeeper couldn't handle & he dispossessed him to give is the lead. Three became four as a massy run by Haverty down the left wing seen him cut in laying on a shot for the oncoming Murphy which the Keeper couldn't hold & like all good Strikers Byrne smashed home his second of the night. The post rattled from a long range effort from Ste Sweeney but credit to Blackrock as they never stopped pushing forward scoring late on but at that stage our bench was emptied all with a game plan excellently executed by each man to see out a impressive win. We wish Blackrock College AFC the best of luck with the rest of their season #thecastle⚫⚪⚽
