The match got started once the referee was happy that all jerseys were tucked in and the action started.

Unfortunately it didn't take long for Wayside to level the score with an unstoppable shot that went in the top corner.

Castleknock broke again before the half time break when Kevin was taken down in the penalty area, Gavan had recovered the ball and the ref waved for play on.
Gavan struck the ball well but was unlucky not to score as the keeper somehow managed to stop the shot, Gavan was straight in for the rebound but the keeper was lucky again and managed to keep it out.

It was all level in the second half and more chances were created for both sides, but Castleknock showed great strength in the back as Andy, Dylan and Zuhdi worked hard to stop Wayside from creating chances. Sam had an excellent game filling in at left back and never gave the opposition a chance.
