'Colm Cooper Cup' - Victory for Trim Celtic Tigers!

On Saturday the 16th of May, Trim Celtic Tigers won the 'Colm Cooper Cup' final by beating Kells Blackwater in the final. It was a 3-1 victory to Trim Celtic Tigers! It was a tough first half because there was a very strong wind and we were playing against the wind in the first half. Kells opened the scoring with a lucky goal; they kicked the ball in front of the half way line and our keeper was getting ready to save it but it sailed over his head!
Soon after their opening goal, we got a free kick a couple of yards outside the box. We were lucky because we have a good free kick taker on our team and he managed to place the ball in the top corner. In the second half, we had the advantage when the wind was with us. Shortly after the start of the second half, we scored a bullet goal that went in the top corner!
Then with ten minutes left in the game we were through with a 1 on 1 chance, our player chipped the keeper and scored. The whistle blew and we all were so happy! Then we had our photograph taken with the cup and our captain made a speech. We were then all handed our medals and went home in victory.
