Holywood Footballers had a great day on Friday competing alongside 16 other schools in the North Down Primary Schools Cup.
Holywood were in Group C alongside Ballyholme, Ballymagee, Bloomfield and Portavogie. Holywood showed great team work throughout the group stages and displayed some moments of magic and great passages of play. They came out on top in their opening game against Ballyholme with a 2-1 victory thanks to two super strikes from both Jamie and Logan but narrowly lost in their remaining games after some hard fought contests.
Holywood remained positive from their performances going into the Quarter Final of the plate where they faced Kilmaine B. After going behind early in the game Holywood fought back to level the match and take the game to a penalty shoot out. After a super save from Patrick in nets - Zac, Isaac and Jamie cooly dispatched each of their kicks in style to see Holywood through to the Semi Finals where they would meet Andrews Memorial.
Unfortunately after a great game and performance from both teams, Andrews Memorial slightly edged past a resolute Holywood team to progress to the Final.
Holywood footballers had an amazing day out showcasing their footballing ability, teamwork and sportsmanship in what was a fantastic day of football fun for all involved. Each player shone and should be very proud of their attitude and application throughout the course of the tournament both on and off the pitch.
TEAM: Patrick, Cally, Zac, Cyrus, Curtis, Luke, Hayden, Isaac, Logan and Jamie
