FAI Schools Minor ‘B’ Girls National Cup Semi Final (Under 15, Small Schools)
Friday, March 28, 2025
St. Peter’s Community School, Passage West 1-0 Glenamaddy Community School
Ida Bandas (53)
A solitary goal courtesy of St. Peter’s Captain Ida BANDAS six minutes from time was enough to see off the reigning Champions Glenamaddy Community School at Fairview Rangers AFC on Tuesday afternoon (February 25).
Both schools had faced off in the Junior ‘B’ Girls National Cup Semi Final three weeks previously with Glenamaddy enjoying the slender 1-0 victory that afternoon that propelled them to clinch the National title this season.
Unfortunately for John Kennedy’s younger age group, they couldn’t replicate such success and had to relinquish their crown on Tuesday.
Tony McSweeney’s charges were excellent with Lexie O’Riordan, Ida Bandas and Eva Barry impressing while Kennedy and McGuire worked extremely hard for Glenamaddy.
The sides were evenly matched throughout the park and the breakaway goal was the highlight of a closely fought encounter.
St. Peter’s Community School will now play Gallen Community School, Ferbane in this year’s showcase finale on Wednesday, April 9 at 1pm. Venue to be confirmed.
