The County Cavan Primary Schools Futsal Finals took place on Friday, 27 November 2009 in the Cavan Leisure Complex: Both boys and girls teams were participating in the event:
There were 10 teams in all playing on the day, with 6 boy’s schools and 4 girl’s schools:
The boy’s competition consisted of 2 groups of three teams, with the group winners playing in a final, the two runners/up playing in a 3rd/4th place play/off, and the two third placed teams playing in a 5th/6th place play/off:
The two group winners, Corlurgan and Kilnaleck played out a fiercely contested battle in the final: At half time the sides were level at 3/3 but towards the end of the second half Kilnaleck pulled away to take the victory in an exciting game, on a score line of 7/3:
The 3rd/4th place play/off was contested by Ballyconnell and Butlersbridge: There was no shortage of goals in this game with Butlersbridge running out convincing 8/1 victors:
The 5th/6th place play/off between St: Mary’s Drung and Corliss again showed no shortage of excitement and goals with St: Mary’s Drung coming away with a 4/1 victory:
The girl’s competition consisted of one group of four: Each team played each other once with the top placed team winning the competition:
This proved just as exciting as the boy’s competition, and with just as many goals to show: Kilnaleck went through the group with a 100% record to claim the girl’s competition:
So congratulations to Kilnaleck on completing the double winning both the girls and boys competition:
The event proved to be a huge success, with all players and teachers leaving delighted with their introduction to FUTSAL: Players adapted well to the game, with good skill levels on show and all players performed in a very sporting manner:
