Cesa is playing a second selection of Drogheda boys. This team looks stronger than the one we played this morning. Despite this our team seems to be in the groove after this morning’s performance: Connor D intercepts the ball. He goes to the goal and scores our first goal: 0-1 for Cesa. For a while the game goes back and forth without much excitement: our defense (Andrew, Joe, Josh and Connor M) is playing well.
Christopher passes the ball into the open space into the corner where Keaton passes through air to the second post where Connor D tips the ball in for our second goal: 0-2.
The opponent puts in a great effort but Raven prevents the goal.
The second half does not bring much excitement. The teams are evenly matched but Cesa is in control. Two games in one day two wins. A nice comeback after losing our last game in the UK.
Quote of the Day
“I don’t think I could have a higher opinion of any footballer than I already had of the Irishman, but he rose even further in my estimation at the Stadio Delle Alpi. The minute he was booked and out of the final he seemed to redouble his efforts to get the team there. It was the most emphatic display of selflessness I have seen on a football field. Pounding over every blade of grass, competing if he would rather die of exhaustion than lose, he inspired all around him. I felt it was an honour to be associated with such a player.”
