CSN overcome strong Benny's Outfit

Colaiste Spioraid Naoimh, Bishopstown 1 – 0 St: Benildus College, Stillorgan

Conor Dorman played a captain’s role as he scored the only goal of the game on 58 minutes to secure a magnificent victory for the Cork school:

Both sides were cautious in the first half and made little of their counter attacking opportunities ensuring the first half remained scoreless:

However, Colaiste Spioraid Naoimh opened the second half with an excellent opportunity on 40 minutes when Diarmuid O’Sullivan’s shot was saved on the goal line by St: Benildus defender Stephen McAuliffe:

Conor Dorman pressed forward five minutes later with an impressive volley that just sailed over the right post:

Benildus made a few tactical changes when Tony Reid was substituted to make way for IIija Cvetic on the hour mark: Later introductions were Sam Meegan for Brian Reilly and Daniel McGowan for David Byrne:

Oisin McEoin’s side pushed forward in search of the equaliser but Bishopstown’s defence were insurmountable:
