On Thursday 5th December, our U19 Soccer Team travelled to Tralee to take on Tralee CBS in a last 16 tie in the Munster Schools Cup.
CSN took the lead from a superb Chris Harrington cross met in the box from this years top scorer Jeffrey Zeph. They went in at half time 1-0 up and very nearly 2 up when Dylan McCarthy’s strike came back off the post late on.
The weather played its part in the second half and the home team drew level from a corner headed home at the back post.
CSN once again took the game to the home team and very nearly took the lead with 10 minutes to go when a Jordan McCarthy strike clipped the outside of the post and went wide.
As they pushed for a winner it was another set piece that caught our lads off guard. They conceded from another corner against the run of play. 2-1 down with 5 minutes to go, CSN laid siege on the Tralee goal but to no avail.
The home team took the spoils in what was a superb display of football from two extremely talented teams. Unfortunately our U19’s bowed out but they can be very proud of their outstanding performance all across the pitch.
Well done to the team and their Coaches Mr McElligott and Mr O’Regan for representing CSN so brilliantly this season.
