Mungret St. Pauls 2-8 Blackrock Effin 9-8
This was the Plate Final on Wednesday 19 August 2020 with Mungret St. Pauls lucky to host it against a very strong Blackrock Effin team who became deserving winners in the end.
Mungret St. Pauls started out strong keeping the ball with their forwards and midfield they had 4 points up before Blackrock Effin emerged and started to dominate. Blackrock Effin began with a goal but did not leave it at that, they put a lot of pressure on our players as they continued to hail the sliotar at the goal posts going 3-5 up before Mungret St. Pauls clocked up another two points. Going into half time Blackrock Effin added another 2-1 to their tally.
Mungret St. Pauls reset the pitch and prepared for another battle, both sides hit the net within minutes of each other and also scored a point each. A point for Mungret St. Pauls was replied with the Blackrock Effin team having to work harder to get their scores but they managed another 3 goals and a point. Mungret St. Pauls kept on trying to get their scores but the Blackrock Effin backs seemed to know what our players were doing and kept blocking them down. Not giving up, one of the many runs up the pitch and pasted some of the Blackrock Effin players the ball was seen flying through the air and past the goalie, this unfortunately was the last score of the game as Blackrock Effin were presented with the plaque.
Well done to our players who never gave up and worked very hard.
