Defeat by Priorswood
It was a lovely sunny morning as we travelled to the away match against Priorswood. However, things started to go wrong before the match even started when Andy cut his head while playing in the playground beside the pitch.
Our captain Zhudi won the toss and decided to play with the strong wind. Both teams had many attacking chances early on, but it was Priorswood who managed to score the first goal. The home team were still celebrating this goal when Omar managed to get us back on level terms. Both Niamh and Zhudi had several good shots with balls that were passed up from mid-field by Dylan, Robert and David, but the score was still 1-1 at half time.
As the second half got under way, Priorswood managed to get into the lead after two of their players were left unmarked in the penalty box leaving Nado with no chance to keep the ball out. Castleknock threw everything into attack to try and get level, but this left them exposed at the back and Priorswood managed to sneak in two late goals to leave the score at 4-1.
Our man-of-the-match was Frank who had a great match in defense with Cathal. This was a much closer match than the result would seem to indicate. I am confident that we can get back into winning form for our match against Dunshaughlin on Monday. Hopefully Andy will be fully recovered by then.
