The Y5/6 boys football team are through to the EDCO U10 Cup Final after a dramatic penalty shoot-out win against Holy Cross Boys PS at Waterworks.

Braniel had to dig deep and withstand lots of pressure from a strong Holy Cross side particularly dangerous from corners and long-throws.

The match finished 0-0 and the sides could not be separated. Our goalkeeper, Oliver, proved the hero in the shoot-out…making two penalty saves and stepping up to successfully convert a penalty himself!!

Braniel penalty goalscorers: Jaxson (Y5KB), Harlow (Y6PG), Robbie (Y5JJ) and Oliver (Y5JJ).

What a day to be associated with Braniel PS. The commitment and desire to win from all 12 boys was immense. A credit to our school and to their families.

We look forward to the final against Strandtown PS.
