Crewe 2015/16 Girls v Camlough
Lisburn League Shield Final
On a chilly winter morning at Knockramer Park our girls faced a tough game in their first ever final and a first of two Finals for the Girls Teams within the Crewe Academy.
As the pre match prep began our girls were obviously nervous but this settled very quickly once the whistle blew - as the girls were dominant early on with lots of early possession and plenty of chances. However these early chances were being dealt with by an outstanding Camlough goalkeeper and her fellow defensive players.
Our girls kept knocking at the door and eventually it was smashed open when they were awarded a free kick about 30 yards away from the Camlough goal, up stepped the ever reliable Izzy who hit an absolute rocket and the ball flew into the top corner leaving the keeper with no other option to pick it out from her net. Bang 1 up and a deserved lead for our little warriors.
Our team talk was about tidying up our passing and holding our positions a little better as we knew Camlough would come out all guns blazing and so this proved - Camlough had the majority of the ball early on and peppered our goal with chances only to be dealt with by Cadhla Ros who was steady as a rock.
But like us in the first half persistence would pay off and the equaliser eventually came and it was very much deserved, this led to a frantic finish with the girls holding on to a draw and bringing the game to Penalties.
This is where the real drama started with the 5 brave girls volunteering to hit one of the dreaded pens and as it turned out each of the five were called upon with the girls coming out 3-2 winners and getting their hands on the winners shield with Skipper Aíne, lifting the girls their first ever Lisburn League trophy for the Crewe United girls youth teams, history books will remember this 😂.
The referee nominated Cadhla Ros as the POTM to cap off two amazing penalty shoot out wins during this cup run.
These girls today, showed great heart, desire and determination not to lose this game.
Best wishes to Camlough as this was a really good game of football played in the right spirit.
Huge thanks to our sponsors H&J Martin for the continuous and unwavering support for our girls team.
What a way to end the year..

Runners up in LCJL Shield Final
A big achievement for our 2015 Colts playing in the LCJL shield final which was a real competive match against Lisdrum Youth Colts.
The boys showed great spirit and determinaton throughout the game. 1st half was end to end, despite going 2 goals down the boys kept their heads up.
2nd half the Colts reset and came out with passion and fight. After conceding another goal we bounced back and scored with 15 mins to go. The boys battled and gave their all, having more grip of the game and chances, though it wasnt to be on the day.
A fantastic team performance to be proud of.
Well done players and coaches🔴⚪️⚽️
A big thank you to our sponsors Fosters Tyres and Olympic Lifts for their continued support.
