The U14 Boys continued their recent fine form with a dramatic late 3-2 win away to St. Bernard's on Saturday. Craughwell started well with goals from Jake Barry after a corner and Eoin Middleton after a break-away. St. Bernard's pulled a goal back to leave the halftime score 2-1 in Craughwell’s favour. In very blustery conditions, Bernards equalized midway through the second half to set up a dramatic final quarter. St. Bernard's won a penalty with a couple of minutes to go but Bobby Farrelly held his nerve to save superbly. With just a couple of minutes to go, United won a penalty at the other end - Tom Malone converted. This proved to be the winner in a very exciting and entertaining game.
