U12 MSL Plate Cup SF 1st Leg
Saturday 6 May
Portlaoise Town vs Raharney Utd
U12's MSL Plate Semi-Final 1st leg
Portlaoise v Raharney.
Raharney made the trip to Portlaoise today on the back of a 6 game unbeaten streak looking to make the most of the good weather in the 1st leg of the semi final. Communion and family commitments meant only 10 players were available to play, but confidence levels were up and the team setup to play in a 4-3-1 formation with AJ as captain.
The referee whistle brought a great game to an end, and though it was a loss, 2-0 to Portlaoise the Raharney team can be proud of the fight and effort that they put into the game. We look forward to the second leg.
Man of the match today goes to James in goal, who pulled off some fantastic stops, a last line of defence holding firm, but also looking to quickly release play for a counter attack.
