Bohemian Shield Preliminary Round Play-Offs
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

In a repeat of last year’s final Larkin Community College and Coolock’s Colaiste Dhulaigh will contest next month’s CDVEC SCC Bohemian Shield soccer final after successfully booking their places at last week’s play-offs at the VEC Sports Grounds in Terenure.
As holders Larkin will go into the final as slight favourites but Colaiste Dhulaigh certainly won’t be there just to make up the numbers with a close tight game predicted following a scoreless draw between the schools at last week’s competition.
Larkin kicked started the day with a comprehensive 5-0 win against Colaiste Eoin of Finglas, with Dane Moynihan scoring a hat-trick along with a goal a piece from Sean Gorman and Robert Courtney.
While, goals in either half from Dhulaigh’s captain Glen McCabe and Reese Sommerfield saw the Coolock school overcome Kylemore College in their opening fixture.
Both finalists locked horns in the next match with Larkin piling on the early pressure but it was first half efforts from Dhulaigh’s McCabe and Sommerfield that came close to breaking the deadlock.
A second half header and shot from Moynihan fell wide of the target with Larkin’s captain Gareth Rock and Shane Hamilton keeping Dhulaigh’s strike force at bay at the other end with both teams settling for a share of the spoils.
Larkin then overcame Kylemore College 4-0 before booking their place in the final with an inspiring display against Plunket College with Rock scoring a hat-trick in their 7-0 win.
Goals from Dhulaigh’s Sommerfield, McCabe, Anthony Shoebridge and Gary Burke, with Plunket’s Drey Cahill scoring a superb consolation goal, in their 4-1 win over the Fairview College meant they finished second to get a second bite at the cherry against the champions in next month’s finale.
