FAI Under Twelve Inter
League Southern Section
Our Under Twelve Inter League squad travelled to
Nenagh on Sunday to participate in the Southern qualifying section and after a
long days football played in glorious sunshine, our girls finished third in a
very competitive group, just missing out on a place in the National semi
finals. The girls started off with a win when they proved too strong for near
neighbours Waterford and ran out 3-0 winners thanks to goals from Katie Law,
Bobbie Culleton and Sasha Greene. A horrible start in the second game against
Cork saw the Rebel county race into a 2-0 lead but Wexford showed great
character and goals from Katie Law and Hannah Redmond brought the sides level
only for Cork to snatch a late winner to take all three
points. Eventual group winners South Tipperary were up
next and the host county got the ideal start when they scored a free kick after
just two minutes and then had to defend strongly for the remainder of the game
before Katie Law eventually managed to score and earn a point for Wexford. The
final game of the day saw Wexford prove much too strong for Kerry and ran out
comfortable 5-1 winners thanks to four goals from Rebecca Fanning and one from
Bobbie Culleton. Hosts South Tipperary topped the group with Cork second while
Wexford just missed out on a place in the semi-finals by finishing third in a
tournament where our girls were definitely good enough to top the group.
Manager Barry Dempsey was delighted with the efforts of his squad and was of
course disappointed to miss out on a place in the last four.
