The Leinster Qualifiers for the FAI Post Primary School’s First Year Boys & Girls National Futsal Finals became known following an exciting two days of action in the National Basketball Arena, Tallaght during the week.
The youngsters from St. Mary’s Diocesan School, Drogheda, Louth (Boys) and Presentation Secondary School, Wexford (Girls) will both carry the hopes of a Leinster victory into the National Finals on Thursday, December 5 in the WIT Arena, Waterford.
There was great excitement in the air on Tuesday (November 12) as twelve girls’ teams descended upon the South Dublin venue to compete for provincial honours.
In Group 1, there was a tightly contested battle among Loreto Secondary School, Kilkenny, Presentation Secondary School, Wexford and Colaiste Bhride, Carnew, Wicklow setting high expectations of one another to advance to the day’s final.
The group decider was claimed by the Wexford Champions, Presentation SS, who defeated their Kilkenny counterparts, Loreto SS, 2-1.
Colaiste Bhride battled back from a slow start to take the runners-up spot in the group.
In Group 2, Kishoge Community College, Lucan were in devastating form in their opening games. The West Dublin side were unbeaten throughout their group and advanced to the Final with ease. The runners up spot was filled by Athlone Community College, Westmeath who represented their school with pride.
In the finale of the day, after an enthralling match between the Champions of Wexford and Dublin, it took the late goals of the excellent Emma Cullen to book Presentation Secondary School’s ticket to the National Finals.
The second day in the National Basketball Arena belonged to the boys as the 12 counties did battle on Wednesday (November 13).
St. Mary’s Diocesan School, Drogheda were the standout performers in Group 1. They secured twelve points from a possible fifteen with sixteen goals to their tally. Their defence only breached twice in a competitive group containing Wexford CBS and Colaiste Bhride, Carnew, who would finish second and third respectively.
Group 2 left no nails on the hands of the keen spectators as the action went down to the final kick of the game. Maynooth Post-Primary School, Kildare missed out on the opportunity to join Mountmellick Community School and Drimnagh Castle, Dublin at the summit of the table when they were defeated by Colaiste Choilm, Tullamore by a 5-3 scoreline in their final game.
Both Drimnagh Castle and Mountmellick CC would finish the day on ten points however the deciding tiebreaker of results between both teams proved to be the difference as Mountmellick toasted their earlier 3-1 success over their Dublin rivals.
The Final was fast and furious from the opening whistle with Mountmellick taking an early lead after three minutes of action. The opening exchanges were dominated by the Laois champions however the Louth men came back to life just before the interval. They levelled proceedings midway through the game and seized the advantage with a second goal immediately after. The sucker punch raised no response from the Midlands side and St. Mary’s DS finished the day as 3-1 victors.
