November 14th, 2011C.B.S Mitchelstown vs Saint Pats North Cork A Schools Final
On Friday the 21st of October the C.B.S Mitchelstown football team and supporters took a bus to Mallow Sports Complex to play Saint Pats from Mallow in the schools North Cork A final. We went to the sports complex on the bus trying to not think too much about the match. We had won the final last year and we wanted to win again.
When we got to the sports complex all minds were on the game. Our trainers Mister Maher, Mister O’Shea, Mister Coleman, Mister Griffin and Mister Weir had put in a lot of work with us and it was time to do them proud. We had a very strong panel and no one was sure they were starting.
The final team was: in goals Jack O’Brien, full back line Adam Ryan, Shane Murphy and Stephen Roche, Centre backs Mikey Keating, our captain Kieran Fox and Eoin Flynn, midfield Lorcan Finn and Cillian Dollian, centre forwards Jesse Graham, Cathail O’Mahony and Colin Devaney and finally full forwards Christy O’Sullivan, Mark Keane and Danny Keane. The subs who were very unlucky not to start were Kevin J Finn, Josh Irwin, Eamonn Walsh, Tony Watson, Adam Boland, Tom Russell, Dylan Ahern, Eoin Kent, Pearse Murphy, Seamus Coleman and Shane
We got off to a flying start, scoring a few points and three goals but every now and then Saint Pats threatened to score. They were a very good side. At have time the score was 3 goals and 6 points to us and 1 goal and 2 points to Saint Pats. At half time Mister Weir gave some good advice and we went back on the pitch. We were playing against the wind in the second half and it proved to be very difficult. The ball was in our half for almost all of the second half but luckily our backs and mid fields never stopped working. A number of our subs were brought on in the second half. Our supporters were behind us all the way and gave us great inspiration.
At the end of the match we had won, 3 goals and 9 points to 1 goal and 5 points. Our captain Kieran Fox gave a great speech and we all went crazy when he lifted the cup. On the way home from the match we were very happy we had worn for the second year in a row. We went to Supermacs to celebrate winning the cup.
