U13 Tipperary Cup Boys Semi-Final
Shanbally Utd 4–3 Clonmel Town B
A fantastic result for the lads in a tough and entertaining semi-final against Clonmel Town.
Both teams started nervously, but Shanbally soon settled and began finding space out wide.
Noah Dillon opened the scoring after 7 minutes with a superb long-range strike, following a great pass from Sadeu Pathiranage.
We doubled the lead after 15 minutes when Cormac Casey’s shot was spilled by the goalkeeper and eventually turned into the net for an own goal.
Shanbally continued to create chances, with the team finding space on the wings. The thrid goal came about this way, Harry Clarke picking the ball up in the middle and feeding it to Noah Dillon in space, and he beat his man before producing another excellent long-range finish for his second of the game.
Half-time: Shanbally 3–0 Clonmel Town B
With the hill and the wind on their side, Clonmel started the second half strongly and pulled one back shortly after the restart, but Shanbally responded immediately. Cormac Casey made it 4–1, a thoroughly deserved goal after his excellent work leading the line all game, with Sadeu claiming his second assist of the game.
Credit to Clonmel, who never gave up. A penalty made it 4–2 before a free kick brought them back to 4–3 with around 10 minutes remaining.
The closing stages were tense, but the lads battled for every ball and held on for a hard-earned 4–3 victory.
A brilliant effort from the whole team and a fantastic reward for all their hard work this season.
We’re into the Tipperary Cup Final! 👏
