Final's day in Kilteely, October 2022.
The Girls Football Final!!
On Tuesday we played our football final against Oola in Kilteely G.A.A pitch.
We left the school at 1 o’clock to go to Kilteely G.a.a pitch. We were hyped up to play our match.We were very nervous but excited at the same time. Before our match there was one and we watched it.
After we finished our warm ups our captain Lucy went up for the toss. She won and we were playing with the wind for the first half. All the 6th class girls started and some of the 5th.
The first half of the competition was fierce. We could hear our supporters cheering us on from the sidelines. When the whistle blew for half time, we were behind by a point after a lot of unlucky misses. We all kept fighting though.
The second half was even more intense. Our midfielders played a blinder along with the rest of the very determined team. It was coming to an end and we needed a few goals. Oola were definitely stronger in the second half and we were struggling to keep up. We still scored four points in the second half though.
A minute before the whistle blew we knew that we wouldn't win. We kept on fighting and we were rewarded with the sound of our supporters singing our praises. When the whistle blew we knew we had played our best.
Unfortunately Oola had the better game and took home the trophy. It was a fun day out and everyone went home happy knowing we performed brilliantly. We sang all the way back to the school, enjoying every bit of it even though we lost our finals.
