WHAT HEAD COACH BRIAN DUNLEAVY SAID
"Incredibly tough way to end the season, conceding so late. Our players left everything on the field today, we were resolute defensively but couldn't find the back of the net. A clear penalty not called for us leaves a very bitter taste. Would've given us the chance to draw level with two minutes to go. It's a shame because it's been a struggle for us all year in the attacking third. It's not for the lack of effort. We made tactical changes, personnel changes, just couldn't get it to click over for us. I'm proud of our players, in particular, our seniors who've helped elevate this program over four years; they set an example for the underclassmen, now it's on them to carry the torch."
