Last Saturday fortnight, we won the FAI tournament in Coolwagon. We beat a Dublin team, Shelbourne United, on penalties. Well done to Shay Hanrahan who scored the winning penalty. Mícheál Walsh and Liam Tierney also scored a penalty each. The final score was 3 – 2.
The only goal scored in the match happened in the first half. It was Thomastown’s corner and Ruby Collins was taking it. We all lined up and she took a brilliant corner and the ball went right in front of the goal. A highview player from the other team tried to knock it but it went the wrong way and we got our goal!
