Braniel Through to Next Round of Sinclair Cup

Braniel 1 - 1 Our Lady Queen of Peace AET

Braniel are through to the next round of the Victor Sinclair Cup after a dramatic penalty-shootout victory at Ulidia. 

After a slow start to the game, Braniel found themselves behind after a wonderful strike from OLQOP. After some adjustments at half-time, the boys flew out of the blocks in the second half and laid siege to the Our Lady goal. With just two minutes of the game remaining, Harlow netted a deserved equaliser taking the game to extra time.

The teams could not be separated during extra time which meant the game would be decided by penalties. Robbie and Harlow successfully converted their spot kicks, with goalkeeper Oliver making a stunning save to deny OLQOP and hand Braniel victory.

The character and resilience shown by the team against a strong opponent was immense. Thank you to Mr J's team, Rosario, for allowing us to use your excellent facilities at Ulidia.
