The football team took part in the annual Ashfield tournament on Friday. The two teams put in a number of great performances, showcasing some super skills and terrific teamwork.
The Holywood B team were placed in a very difficult group but produced some brilliant performances. Despite a difficult start against Strandtown A they bounced back to defeat StMatthews, with Ben Curson scoring a well placed strike. They put in one final performance against an Ashfield Boys Select team but sadly fell to a narrow defeat.
The Holywood A team started strongly with two victories and a draw before falling to a narrow defeat to Elmgrove. They fought well but it wasn’t until the last group game that they secured fourth place and a spot in the semifinal of the Bowl. In the semifinal against Rosetta, the boys produced a dominating performance but it wasn’t until the last ten seconds that they found the breakthrough, Zac Wright finishing from close to put Holywood A into the final. The final was a hard fought game with the boys conceding early to Knocknagoney but they kept their heads and turned the game round coming out 2-1 winners.
Well done to both teams!
