🏆 Colm Cooper Cup. Game 5
Walshestown 2 - 2 RFA Boys

⚽RFA Boys got off to a flying start against Walshestown after being awarded a penalty in the opening minutes. However, a good strike from Jake unfortunately hit the post. It wasn’t long after before the striker got his goal, after a deflected shot landed in front of him to slot home.

⚽ RFA had plenty more chances in the first half, with great work down the wings by McKinley and Lucas. At the other end, Harry pulled off a couple of outstanding saves to keep the lead intact.
Into the second half, RFA introduced Kayden and Louie down the flanks, and it was a quick break from Louie, which resulted in a great cross for Harry to head home.

⚽ Alex, Jack, Harry and Jamie continued to battle in midfield, but unfortunately the away team couldn’t hold onto the lead, and conceded two goals soon after. With some great defending by Aidan and Ali, RFA kept pushing forward but couldn’t find the winner.

👌 However, the point secures our advancement to the next round of the competition, with the final group game to come on Saturday.
Massive thanks to all who made the long trip from Mullingar.
