For the second time in as many months, the Skryne U12 boys met with Trim for a league final in Dunsany. The Skryne boys had beaten a strong Summerhill side in the semi-final, and Trim were eagerly awaiting their chance to avenge the 2 point defeat of the Spring League final. Skryne and Trim once again met half way in the well maintained Dunsany pitch for the Summer League Final on Thursday 31st July. Throw in was for 7.00pm with Peter Sheridan & Andrew Lenihan refereeing the matches.
Skryne battled hard on both sides with Trim really putting it up to them yet again. There were some great scores from Shane Smyth, Sean Keogh, Billy Reilly, Niall Finnerty, Oisin Keogh, Oisin Mc Connell, Kristoffer Kinsella, Alex Grendon, Niall Moreland, David Rathbourne and Kian Reddy. While other players who assisted with the scores worked tirelessly with John O Regan and Killian Cahill playing well up front. The defensive line is as important and great credit has to go to Sam Hawes, Jack Swan, Killian Cullen, Scott Armstrong, Paddy Wright, Gary Browne & John Finnerty. In goals, Alex Curran & Nathan Chawke gave kick outs with pin-point accuracy and produced a string of great saves.
Skryne battled to the end and once again all eyes were on the two referees after the final whistle as the points from each side were totalled up. In the end it was Skryne who emerged victorious, yet again by the narrowest of margins. Great credit has to go to Trim who never gave up and no doubt there will be many a great match in years to come between both clubs. Ciaran Flynn presented Skryne Captain David Rathbourne with the Shield and complemented both sides on the fantastic final and the great sportsmanship. Thanks to all the support from Skryne, we are sure that these bunch of lads will continue to represent the club well in the future.
Final Score,
Skryne…30 Points
Trim…….29 Points
