St Patrick’s Boys AFC 2, Bridge United 0,
Saturday 28 January 2023 The Meadows Graiguecullen (St Pat’s Boys)
Bridge United were the visitors today to the Meadows. The first 10 mins of the game Bridge Utd had a great chance to take the lead with a long range shot that nearly lobbed Luke Dooley in the Pats goal.
Only for an absolutely brilliant save by Luke the visitors would have found themselves in front. Pats now started to play fast passing football and created numerous chances.
Ruari McEvoy in the center of the Pats defence was clearing everything that came his way. Some brilliant play by Zak Hernan and Shane Gurhy soon saw Pats take the lead when Shane Gurhy's long range shot ended up in the Bridge Utds net. Half time and Pats deserved the 1-0 lead.
A number of changes in the second half saw Emily Kelly in midfield picking out some great passes to Brian Dos Santos who was a torn in the Utds defence all game. It wasn't long before Brian found Kacper Zarzycki to make it 2-0. Pats were now in complete control and created chance after chance. F/T St Patrick’s Boys 2-0 Bridge United.
A great squad performance by St Pats with Mauro Perez, Shane Gurhy, Ruari McEvoy & Brian Dos Santos all standing out.

St Patrick’s Boys AFC-2 0, Gorey Rangers 5,
Saturday 28 January 2023 The Meadows Graiguecullen (St Pat’s Boys)
This was a game that was played under perfect conditions. The sun was shining, and the weather was mild. Gorey started the game very well and were 0-1 up after 11 minutes.
The second goal came from a corner about 4 minutes after the 1st. Two more were scored on the 25th and 27th minutes. H/T score St Patrick’s 0-1 Gorey Rangers.
St. Pat's started the better in the second half but were punished from a quick counterattack as they pushed for a goal in the 17th minute. Four goals within 6 minutes killed Pat's and ended all resistance. Man of the Match was St. Patrick's Boys AFC goalkeeper Nicolas Sabando without whom the scoreline could have been much, much more.
Best of luck to Gorey Rangers in the next round and beware to the team who they have to play next. Excellent team with very strong substitutes.
Scorers for Gorey - Alex Devereux. Cian Keating. Stephen Murphy, Richard Levingston, Karim Fulham.

Saturday 28 January 2023 Superbowl Leighlinbridge (Vale Wanderers
The Super Bowl, Leighlinbridge was the venue for this girls U16's league match between Vale Wanderers and Killeshin.
Big changes to both line ups, meant the game started slow but Vale pressurized the ball deep in the Killeshin half and Kate Burke was unlucky not to score.
Vale found it hard to beat the very impressive Aoife Mullins in the Killeshin goal, who was outstanding throughout the game. With a few minutes left in the 1st half, Vale's dominance was rewarded, when, after an indirect free kick, which was saved, Zoe Clarke mopped up the rebound and put Vale 1-0 up at half time.
At the start of the 2nd half, Vale made some changes, but still Killeshin showed great spirit and frustrated the Vale girls. Katie O' Reilly was putting in a very solid display in the backs for Killeshin.
Eventually Vale doubled their score when Kate Burke found the ball in the box and got it over the line. After that, the game opened up for Vale and they started to pass the ball around nicely with Carla Byrne impressing down the right.
Kate Burke's 2nd of the match came about after she latched onto a long ball out of the Killeshin defence, brought the ball forward and slotted it away nicely into the right bottom corner. Vale made it 4 after some nice play down the right and Kate Burke placed a lovely lob over the Killeshin keeper to get her hat trick for Vale.
The game ended 4-0 to the Vale girls.
Killeshin put in a very valiant performance and the signs are there that they are improving from game to game.
Best for Killeshin included Aoife Mullin, Katie O' Reilly and Katie Kehoe.
Best for Vale were Zoe Clarke, Sarah Devine, Kate Burke and Carla Byrne.

Saturday 28 January 2023 St Patrick’s College, Carlow
A slow start saw St Fiaccs fall behind early to a strong Ballingarry team who travelled up from Limerick.
St Fiaccs were slow to clear their backline and were punished when the ball spilled out and was knocked in the back of the net.
It didn’t take St Fiaccs long to get their heads back on the game though and they played some great soccer with Ali O Connor and Jasmine Doyle running the midfield.
Halftime 0 1
St Fiaccs won a free kick early in the second half and Katelyn Moran struck a great shot which was parried by the keeper but the ever-reliable Ashlee Smith was on hand to poke home the equaliser.
Ballingarry came back into the game and without Nicole Osborne in the Fiaccs goals, could have found themselves behind after Ballingarry created 3 good chances.
