FOUR-MIDABLE! BRILLIANT NAAS RUN RIOT IN SENSATIONAL KILCULLEN DERBY MASTERCLASS!
What a performance! Naas AFC’s Boys U15 (2012) Major 1 superstars put on an absolute masterclass on Sat, 26 Sep 2026, roaring to an emphatic Kilcullen AFC 2–4 Naas AFC derby triumph over Kilcullen!
Saturday 26th September
A windswept afternoon in Kilcullen brought about the proverbial game of 2 half’s . It’s never been ideal to be playing a team two weeks on the trot but that was the task Naas faced. The opening 10 minutes were slow and playing into the wind caused Naas to leave passes short and Kilcullen took a deserved lead on 15 minutes off a through ball and they doubled it with two minutes remaining in the half when the clearance from the corner was pinged back into the top corner. The second half saw a completely different team takes to the field, the passing and movement were much quicker and this led to a free kick two minutes in when Fionn Nolan was brought down 20 yards out. Frank stepped up to curve a lovely shot over the wall into the top corner. Kilcullen had an attack straight from the kickoff but Noah made a good save after Dylan had put the attacker under pressure. 15 minutes in and Louie collected the ball in the centre circle and drove over to Kilkullen defence. He beat two players before smashing a shot goalwards only to see it smack off the crossbar and down onto the line, whilst some appealed for a goal Fionn Leonard Finnegan done what all good strikers do and followed it up and beat the keeper to the dropping ball to head Naas level. Fionn Nolan next had a shot well saved after being put through by Antoni but with 10 minutes left Naas took the lead when Louie again ran at the Kilcullen defence from midfield and this time finding the back of the net from 25 yards out. Naas still had time for Frank to put the icing on a great comeback when Harry found him inside the area and he slotted his home. Two wins on the bounce but Naas will need to improve the first half performances. Players of the match were Frank and Louie
With momentum building and confidence sky-high, this talented Naas squad has laid down a serious marker for the battles ahead. Up the Blues!
