The U16 footballers played the semi final for the shield on Monday night in St. Patricks against the home team. St. Pats got off to a steady start with 2 points over the bar before Mungret St. Pauls settled into the game and started to put some ball between the uprights. A penality in the first half to Mungret St. Pauls saw them pull ahead and they stayed in that position at the half time mark. Back on the pitch from the break Mungret St. Pauls stuck the ball into the back of the St.Patricks net to widen the gap even more. St. Patricks pulled together and started to narrow the gap but never managed to take the lead, leaving Mungret St. Pauls to go throught to the Shield Final. Well done men, esp to the goalie who has done a great job in what is not his first position and pulled off some great saves under pressure. A team achievement. Mungret St Paul’s 3-12 St Patrick’s 1-14
