  • New Dunmurry High Pupils Strengthen Laurelhill Squad!

     Year 10 Soccer Match– Laurelhill (2) vs Ashfield (3)

    After a very positive start to the season the Under 14 football team were looking forward to their match against the defending champions, Ashfield Boys School, Belfast.  Laurelhill’s  team was boosted by two new players, Steven Jackson and Nathan Kerr, who recently joined us from Dunmurry High School. Ashfield had a good start, but after some great saves by Aaron McKeown, our boys began to settle, playing some really good football and matching the reigning champions play for play.

     New player Nathan Kerr (Nottingham Forrest Youth Academy) played the second half of the match and made an immediate impact, putting Laurelhill in front with some very skilled footwork and a spectacular penalty kick. Both teams were equally matched in extra time with Ashfield just snatching a deciding goal in the closing minutes. Nevertheless this was a stunning performance by the Under 14 boys and one which bodes very well for the future.
