The U16 boys met Loreto in the final of the Irish society league on Wednesday 24th February 2016.
The normal nervous start was clearly replaced with a confidence and a will to get the job done. An early free kick 25 yards left the Loreto goal keeper
wondering where the ball was. 1-0 to Coleraine Grammar School.
Constant pressure from the midfield and forwards made for a dangerous run into the Loreto box and the defender had no option but to bring our player
down. The penalty was slotted home. 2-0. A slight loss of concentration left too much room at the back prior to half time and Loreto pulled
one back. However, there was an immediate response from the team and a superb run and goal by Coleraine Grammar School showed Loreto that CGS were
not about to let them back into the game. 3-1 at half time.
The second half started with a more determined display from Loreto in the midfield and their pressure led to another goal but once again CGS got their
heads down and a tactical change in midfield paid dividends, moving the score on to 4-2 to Coleraine Grammar School. Some last minute attempts
almost increased the gap again but these were denied by the woodwork. Final score Coleraine Grammar School 4 – 2 Loreto College.
The boys would like to thank all those that supported them both at the match and throughout the year.
