St Pat’s see off Orchard to raise Actavo Cup
ST PATRICK’S Athletic Under 15 team bagged their first piece of silverware last weekend following a 3-1 victory over tournament hosts Cherry Orchard in the Actavo Cup Final.
Ben McCormack found the back of the net for the Inchicore side while Cian Kavanagh carded a brace and was declared ‘Player of the Tournament after scoring in every game for his side.
Zack Furey accounted for Cherry Orchard’s goal after he held his nerve from the penalty spot, but it was not enough to reel the Saints back in.
Pat’s ignited their tournament campaign with an emphatic 4-1 win over Swansea in which Kavanagh was again on the double while Kian Leavy and Lennon Gill made up the balance of their tally.
The next day they notch-ed up another two wins with Kavanagh accounting for the only goal in their clash with Aberdeen be-fore he and Kyle Conway hit the target in a 3-0 victory over Cliftonville.
And another convincing performance by the side in the decider resulted in captain Brandon Holt raising the trophy.
The Orchard team can be very proud of their efforts carding wins over Newcastle and the DDSL.
