Coola retain FAI Schoolboys Connacht Cup title



Coola Post Primary School boys under 15 soccer team are celebrating another FAI Schoolboys Connacht Cup title.

The Sligo school beat St Claire’s Comprehensive School Manorhamilton in Wednesday’s final – in what was a repeat of last year’s decider.

Coola led 2-0 at half-time but St Claire’s responded with two early second-half goals to level the contest.

Conor McMorrow proved to be Coola’s matchwinner. His wonder goal in the closing quarter sealed a 3-2 win.

Speaking to Ocean FM Sport after the game, team manager Keith Raymond said the win had given the entire school a lift.

 

Coola now play the Ulster champions in the All-Ireland under 15 semi-final next Tuesday, March 26th at 1pm.
