Kanturk AFC U14’s played away to Brideview Utd from Waterford in the National Trophy on Saturday.
A hard fought game against a big physical opposition saw Kanturk concede after 15 minutes from a cross into the 6 yard box and a good header.
Kanturk came out stronger in the second half, Denis Murphy was fouled in the box and Kanturks captain Patrick Healy calmly scored from the spot kick.
The match ended 1-1 after 70 minutes. So into extra time for the second match running.
Half the Kanturk team had played a football match for North Cork in the morning so a very tired but determined team played on, pushing 3 upfront in an effort to win the game.
A lovely through ball from Denis Murphy was latched onto by Ross O’Callaghan who smashed the ball home.
Into the last 5 minutes and with injuries Kanturk were now down to only 11 fit lads. Zak Parnis in goal was not to be beaten, and Kanturk held on to win 2-1 and progress in the next round. A great team performance from all 13 available boys.
Our thanks to all our players and supporters for travelling and to Brideview for hosting and providing tea and biscuits at half time and for giving us such a tough match.
