U12 SFAI CUP: BALDOYLE UTD 0 DOUGLAS HALL 1
Baldoyle United's fine run in the national Schoolboys Football Association of Ireland Cup came to an end despite a valiant effort by Paul and Sinead's team.
Cork's Douglas Hall AFC were too strong for the boys today . The teams were level 0-0 at half time thanks to some fine saves by Baldoyle keeper Oisin. But Douglas Hall's Craig Nolan's fine finish early in the second half was to prove decisive. The U12s worked hard but could not get the equaliser. The boys can hold their heads high for reaching the last 32 in Ireland. They also have the SFAI Nth Leinster final next weekend against Skerries to look forward to.

Our Major 1 Sunday team closed to within 3 points of leaders St Pauls yesterday with a hard fought victory over 9 man Trinity Donaghmede.
Sean Duffys men were on top in the first half hour without affecting the scoreboard. Cian Leeson did have the ball in the net on 21 mins but it was disallowed due to a foul on the keeper.
The big moment of the game came on 35 mins when following a rash challenge on Al Courtney, Trinity were shown two straight red cards.
When the game resumed Trinity retreated to defending their box and despite a couple of chances for us we went in scoreless at the break.
Although being down to 9 players it was TD who went closest to scoring at the start of the second half when a fine shot from distance cannoned off Steven Dunne's crossbar. Thereafter came an onslaught on the TD goal, but some very resolute defending from the visitors coupled with some wayward finishing left the game scoreless as the clock ticked towrds 90 minutes.
Indeed it could have been Trinity who celebrated the game's first goal when a late breakaway saw TD work a 2v1 where Steven Dunne came to our rescue with a fine save low to his left.
Instead it was Panch Murphy who claimed the points with a crisp strike from just inside the box on 90 mins, to make it 18 from 18pts in our last six league games following on from collecting just 1pt from our opening two games.
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE CHAIRMAN!
Happy New Year everyone and I hope each of you have a great 2020.
Looking back on all the videos and pictures from 2019 the year has been a very busy and incredibly successful one for the club. It's our 50th year and we will continue the celebrations in February with a very special 50th dinner dance in The Grand Hotel Malahide (tickets from www.eventbrite.ie).
During 2019 we:
* put a new astro pitch and fencing in place
* put a new floor and heating/plumbing system in the clubhouse
* raised over €12,000 for St Michael's House and the club with our Fair City match
* were honoured by the President at Áras an Uachtaráin for our work with Show Racism the Red Card and people living in direct provision accommodation
* received a Unite the Union award for our work on diversity and inclusivity
* worked with Fingal Co. Council and An Garda Siochána providing Late Night Leagues and Walking Football
* our coach Sean Russell received the Northside People Coach of the Year award for 2019.
On the pitch our two senior teams made the big move to the Leinster Senior League and have already acquitted themselves well in the Premier Saturday and Major 1 Sunday leagues.
Our Junior Academy for 4-7 year old boys and girls now also takes place on Tuesdays in addition to Saturdays.
Our schoolboy teams moved back to the traditional 'school year' season after two years of 'calendar year' football. There has been Cup success including our U12s reaching the SFAI Cup Leinster Final. We hosted teams from Northern Ireland and local teams in our successful May Day Cup. Our teams also made trips abroad including the Blackpool Cup and Poland tournament. Our U18s were so unlucky to narrowly lose in the NDSL Cup Final.
Our schoolgirls section continues to thrive. We have built on our links with St Mary's school Baldoyle and helped increase their participation for girls in sport, and supported the Soccer Sisters and 20x20 initiatives. Our U15s reached the NDSL Cup Final.
As you can see it's been a very busy year. None of this would be possible without our volunteers and coaches who give up so much of their time to develop their own coaching skills and provide training and matches for our players. Thanks also to our sponsors and parents for supporting the club and much needed fundraising.
Finally, have a great 2020 and see you all in the new year!
Yours in sport

🏆 U12S REACH SFAI REGIONAL FINAL
Congratulations to our Under 12s who became the first team from Baldoyle to reach the Leinster Schoolboys Football Association of Ireland Cup Final.
The boys took on Ardee Celtic away on Saturday. After a scoreless game and extra time the game went to a dramatic penalty shoot out. Baldoyle Utd keeper Oisin O'Shaughnessy's fantastic save meant the team will play Skerries Town in the Leinster SFAI Cup final. This is a fantastic achievement for this developing squad and reward for the years of coaching put in by Sinead McKenna, Paul Lally, Conor Dowling and others.
The game itself finished dramatically with Oisin making another great save with 3 minutes left and Ciaran McKenna clearing off the line from the rebound. Callum Lally's corner was ruled out for offside. Tactical substitutions resulted in 'spot kick expert' Cian Lynsey come on and score a vital penalty for Baldoyle.
We will let you know when the final is on.

We are sorry to announce that Mark Cromwell has had to leave his position as manager of our Leinster Senior League Sunday side due to time pressures.

BALDOYLE WIN THE 'GRUDGE CUP' AFTER ANOTHER (?) PENALTY SHOOT-OUT!
Baldoyle United took the honours on Saturday after a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory over FAIR CITY's Carrigstown Crusaders.
Goals from Justin Reilly and Conor Dowling put Baldoyle into a comfortable 2-0 lead . But after the break Carrigstown drew level with two fine goals from Darragh Irwin and Ciaran Hayden, to push the game into spot kicks at the school end of the ground.
Justin 'Coco Brown' Reilly, Sean 'Skinner' O'Grady and Mark 'the Boss' Cromwell all converted from the spot for Baldoyle United.
Baldoyle 'keeper Stephen 'the Cat' Penrose made a fantastic save from former Bray Wanderers maestro Robbie Coyle. After that Carrigstown's Will (boo) aka actor John Cronin played to the crowd but pulled his spot kick wide.
That left it to Barry 'Bruiser' Byrne to fire a rocket into the Carrigstown net and start the celebrations which continued in the Racecourse Inn until the small hours.
The real winner was of course St Michael's House in Baldoyle and the club. We were delighted that Jacqui McDonnell of St Michael's House was there to present the trophy to United Captain Justin O'Reilly.
It ended a fantastic few weeks for the club and an amazing day.
Huge thanks to George McMahon and all the Fair City cast and crew for their time. To Jilly Mc Donough, Brigie de Courcy and all at RTE, and to Robbie Kane for his live commentary.
Also, massive thanks to all the volunteers who turned out to fork the pitch, supervise the car park, set up the shop and all the other hard work that made the day possible.
