National SFAI Under 15 Evans Cup Final Victory for Belvedere

At Jackson Park in Kilternan on Saturday 15th May, Belvedere claimed the National SFAI Under 15 Evans Cup with a great 2 - 1 win over Cherry Orchard. Behind to a disputed offside goal early in the match, Belvedere didn't panic and kept to the task in hand, playing their usual brand of passing football. Despite some solid defending by Cherry Orchard, Belvedere's persistence was rewarded when Dermot Louthe equalised with 10 minutes left to play. Belvedere piled on the pressure and two minutes later, man of the match, Adam Evans fired home a low left footed shot and wrap up the tie.
