Keanes Jewellers Champions Trophy Semi-Final
Castleisland Afc will feel very proud of their efforts on Sunday and on other day they might have taken more of their chances and advanced to the Munster final , However it was the Cork side who advance by the narrowest of margins . Park United took the lead as early as the third minute but Castleisland regroup and regained their composure very quickly . Sean Brosnan was unlucky in the first half when he saw two free kicks hitting the crossbar . On the hour mark the sides were level when Pierce Brosnan and Timmy Walsh combined to set up Sean Brosnan who made no mistake . Castleisland then had a great opportunity when they were awarded a penalty with twenty minutes remaining . Unfortunately for Castleisland Sean Brosnan saw is spot kicked saved and he then put the rebound over the bar . As the game looked like it was heading to extra time Park united stuck for the winner with only eight minutes remaining . Castleisland can keep their heads held high after a great run in this competition and maybe with a bit f luck to could have gone that extra step .
