The game started off very fast paced and after 8 mins of hard work and testing the Rathangan defence, Sean Keane got on the end of a rebound from Darragh Prendergast to put the CBS in front 1-0. The Portlaoise side conceded a penalty that was well taken by the Rathangan number 11 to level it 1-1 at the 21st minute. Before the end of the first half Sean Keane took on the goalkeeper and earned a penalty. Keane stuck the ball in the net, his second goal of the game to put CBS 2-1 up. In the second half the home side kept the pressure on with the likes of Darragh Prendergast, Desmond Peter (man of the match) and Charles Ogundere keeping the Rathangan defence on their toes but they held stronge. With 10 mins left Rathangan made chances but the CBS defence, George Okpara in left back and James Devoy made the necessary clearances to keep the lead. Overall it was a brilliant performance by the U17s who now progress to a Leinster League Final. Well done lads! ️ #fromeachhisbest

In dramatic fashion the CBS U19 Soccer team came out on top of CPC Killcullen with a 3-1 win to secure a spot in the League final! CBS started very strong and took control of the game early. 12 minutes in, a mistake at the back allowed Kieran O’Donnell to play Colin Conroy in on goal and give CBS an early lead. In the dying minutes of the first half CPC started to find their footing in the match but Portlaoise weathered the storm led by Aaron Doran. The second half was end to end between the teams, until the 66th minute the CPC center back scored a wonder goal from 30 yards out, equalising the game. This goal was a massive boost for the CPC boys going into the dying embers of the match. Nevertheless the brothers didn’t drop their heads, 75 minutes in Colin Conroy played a delightful cross field pass to Jamie Toman who buried it into the net making it 2-1 with 15 minutes to go. CPC didn’t hesitate to get back into the game with a flurry of goal chances from set pieces. With 9 minutes remaining Daire McDonald intercepted a pass out from the back and landed the ball at Ben Doyle’s feet, who didn’t hesitate to rattle the net and seal the deal. This was an all round impressive performance from all the boys in black and red but especially today’s man of the match, Colin Conroy. Well done to coaches Ms Hyland and Mr Glavin. ️ #teamwork #cbsabú #fromeachhisbest
