Inny Reds’ remarkable week
Great pride in Inny Reds this week after an incredible few days for the club’s under 12 side. 💙⚽🏆
Although their Connacht final journey ended against a superb Corrib Rangers team in Westport, the young Inny side represented Westmeath and the Longford League with tremendous determination, skill and character throughout the campaign. Reaching a Connacht final is a massive achievement in itself, particularly in a competition traditionally dominated by some of Galway’s strongest underage clubs. 👏
Captain and goalkeeper Daniel Brady, son of Inny FC manager Eamonn Brady, of Whelehans Pharmacies, produced an outstanding display in the final, earning praise from both camps, while the entire squad showed enormous heart and resilience against top-class opposition. 🧤🔥
The response from the team just two days later showed the character within the group. Inny Reds bounced back in style to win the Longford League Shield final in Abbeycarton after a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Newtownforbes. 🏆
After a tense 0-0 draw, Inny kept their composure to win 4-3 on penalties, with Daniel Brady (son of Inny Manager and of Whelehans, Eamonn Brady again proving the hero by saving two spot-kicks. Sean Reynolds converted the winning penalty, while captain Shane O’Neill proudly lifted the trophy afterwards. ⚽🙌
Best of luck also to the squad this weekend as they face Mostrim FC in the Tynan Cup semi-final in Streete. 💪⚽
A fantastic achievement by all players, management, parents and supporters involved. 👏
