As always, Cashbook is delighted to sponsor the U12 Lisnagry Football Club girls team from our local village of Castleconnell! Here’s a picture of Lisnagry FC after their recent game against Parkville Football Club at home in Scanlon Park. Supporting local is very important to us here at Cashbook as we strive to always work as a team. We know the importance of cooperation and we want to showcase this achievement for the girls as well as the boys.
It was a true game of two halves with the first half finishing with them behind. This left the coaches and loyal supporters feeling the pressure rising. The girls were told that anything could happen in the second half with the wind, after a motivational speech at halftime, the girls returned to the field eager to work! And they were successful! The final result saw Lisnagry triumph with a win. Outstanding goals from the girls were witnessed. They are a fantastic group and are now top of their league!
We also want to show our support for the U14 boys team as they played fantastically over the weekend. They played some great football vs a strong Caherdavin Celtic FC team. The boys started well and opened the scoring with an excellent free kick, which gave the boys the early lead. Caherdavin put more pressure on the scoreboard, but the boys achieved an exquisite strike at the back post from a great corner which gave Lisnagry FC a second goal.
Caherdavin managed to get a goal just before the half time whistle leaving them just ahead at half time. Both sides got off to a quick start as the second half began. Caherdavin got in a number of corners, which the boys defended dutifully, including a goal line block. Lisnagry FC had some good chances and were denied a sure penalty going into the last ten minutes. With four minutes remaining, Caherdavin showed no signs of giving up and won a free kick just outside the 18-yard box and directed it around the wall and into the top corner to tie the score, ending the match in a draw. A tough match but a true showcase of talent from the boys.
