The Minor Soccer Team were unfortunate to be knocked out of the Cork Cup against Ashton. The final score was 5-4 to Ashton after extra time.
The girls went down 1-0 early in the first half. We were slow to start the game but once we settled in, we were dominating a lot of the ball and creating many chances. This led to a 2-1 lead for Regina Mundi College. One goal came from Grace Murray chasing down the goalkeeper which led to an easy tap-in. The second came from a corner kick where Kate O’ Sullivan rifled in a shot from close range.
To Ashton’s credit, they fought back to draw the game level. However, we took the lead in the second half through another Grace Murray finish. Again, Ashton had an answer and the teams were level again.
Kate O’ Sullivan got her second of the game to bring us ahead going into the last few minutes of the game. Unfortunately for us, Ashton equalised yet again and the game went into extra time where the opposition grabbed the final goal of the game which stopped the game from going into penalties.
Overall, we were unlucky to not come away with the victory but now we can turn our attention to the trophy competition.
