Hazelwood College, Dromcollogher 3-2 Blessington Community College (AET)
Johnny Power (43, 76), Muiris McCarthy (47)
Senan Fishier (3 pen, 45)
Limerick side Hazelwood College managed to outwit Leinster Champions Blessington Community College in a pulsating Cup tie in Killavilla United FC, Roscrea this afternoon (Thursday, September 19).
In energy sapping conditions, the Dromcollogher scholars came from behind twice to take the game to extra time. It took a sensational effort to win the contest and Johnny POWER delivered deep into added time.
A hugely disappointing end to proceedings for the Wicklow outfit who were technically excellent in the first half. Their endeavours were rewarded with a brace from the impressive Senan FISHER. The youngster converted from the spot after three minutes and followed this up midway through the second half for his brace.
Blessington’s early penalty call set them up nicely for some excellent football. They nearly doubled their tally on nine minutes when Zach Geogegan came agonisingly close at the far post.
It remained 1-0 to Jonathan Dowling’s team at half-time.
Hazelwood didn’t come out of the block until the second period as they certainly intensified their attacking options and showed some real style.
Gary Murphy went close on 42 minutes but the breakthrough came a few seconds later for Hazelwood when Johnny POWER finished off superbly to equalise, 1-1.
It was Murphy again on the ball as his shot came off the underside of the crossbar on 45 minutes. Blessington hit them on the counter and Senan FISHER slotted home a wonderful strike to give the Wicklow students the lead again, 2-1.
It was end to end action at this stage.
The Wicklow advantage was short-lived as Muiris McCARTHY pounced to make it 2-2, two minutes later. Dromcollogher were not giving up!
Jamie Power had a brilliant opportunity to give Blessington the lead but the ball went wide of the target five minutes from time.
The game ended 2-2.
There was no clear cut chances for either side in the first period of extra-time but a Johnny POWER special four minutes from the final whistle produced an audacious goal. He struck a corner kick and scored direct to win the game for Hazelwood! A dramatic conclusion to a fabulous game.
The Limerick school will now face Pobalscoil Ghaoth Dobhair in the FAI Schools First Year ‘B’ Boys National Cup decider on Wednesday, October 2 at 1pm. Venue to be confirmed.

And they are off …Best wishes to this fantastic group of young men who will contest the All Ireland Soccer Semi Final in Roscrea today. These boys have brought so much pride to their school, their clubs and their families throughout their campaign and we have no doubt that they will give it their all today. Best of luck boys!
We would like introduce you to our new Active School Flag team in TY!
We are looking forward to a fun, enthusiastic, and active year ahead!
TY student Kieran represented Limerick in the U16 200m in the All Ireland at the start of September in Carlow SETU track.
He also came first in the county finals in Mungret and qualified to go straight to the All Ireland where he won a silver medal!
Locally, he recently ran in Liscarroll AC Sports and came 1st in the 100m, all while wearing his Hazelwood Vest with pride!
To top it all off, Kieran has been invited by athletics Ireland into the Munster Performance Squad!
Well done, we literally can’t keep up with your achievements!
We were delighted to welcome Shane and Kahlin from Treaty United to school today for a training session with our soccer Munster Champions ahead of their All Ireland semi final against Blessington College next week.
It was fantastic to see our own students and Treaty players Robbie Lynch and Katie Lawlee out on the pitch sharing their expertise. A fantastic opportunity for the boys to find tune their skills and to show off some of their own silverware.
It wasn’t to be for our 1st year boys soccer team today who came up short against a strong St Caimin’s side in the semi final of the North Munster League.
In desperately challenging weather conditions, the boys put in a great effort but finished second best.
Onwards and upwards boys – we still have another chance at silverware as we prepare to take on Crosshaven in the Munster Cup in two weeks time. Well done lads, we go again!!
