Bree take County 5-a-side Soccer Title

There was strong competition at the recent Wexford Macra 5-a-side Soccer finals, held in St. Joseph's Kilmuckridge and hosted by Blackwater Macra na Feirme. All of the active Macra clubs in the county were represented with a round-robin competition taking place. The hosts, Blackwater Macra, got off to a strong start beating a strong Cushinstown team before also seeing off the challenge from Askamore Macra. The Bree team took the hard route to the final, coming from behind in both their first round matches before beating Askamore and Cushinstown. The title contest was set for a match between Bree and Blackwater with Askamore and Cushinstown battling for third place. The third place playoff was a quick and even performance for the first half before Askamore emerged as the winners. In the final both Blackwater and Bree were evenly matched with goals coming from both sides, Blackwater scoring in the final minute to draw level at full time. During extra time the battle continued before Shane Doyle from Bree tapped in to give his side the win. The Bree team now go through to the NDC National Finals, being held in Gormanstown, Meath on the 1st of March.
