What a performance! Naas AFC’s Boys U14 (2013) Premier superstars put on an absolute masterclass on Sat, 14 Nov 2026, roaring to an emphatic Naas AFC 2–1 Castle Villa derby triumph over Castle Villa!
A cold windy day on pitch 4 in Naas greeted the lads as they took on Castle Villa in the U14 Premier Division. It’s always a tough and direct game against Villa and today was no different.
Their reward came 3 minutes before the break when Peter latched onto a through ball from Hin before being clipped by the keeper for a penalty. Senan stepped up and put in the bottom right corner.
The back four dealt with the aerial bombardment from villa all the way through the half bar the one lapse for the goal.
Naas had the breeze at their backs in the second half and took some more control of the game. They pushed for the lead and went close with Senan and Peter having chances.
The only real threat villa had were from set pieces but most of the time one of Max, Charlie, Jake and Kellum got a head or foot on the ball to clear the danger.
In the 48th minute Senan chased down a ball through from Leo and got there just before the keeper who took him down for a second penalty to Naas. He got to his feet and cooly slotted his second into the bottom left corner.
Naas had some more chances through Frankie and Senan while Villa continued their long ball tactic.
Naas held on for a well deserved win and a valuable three points as they aim to catch Kilcock at the top of the Premier division.
Senan ran tirelessly up front all day and took the two penalties really well, the midfield worked really hard all day and created well but the back four dealt with nearly everything that Castle Villa threw at them. Kian in goals was a safe pair of hands.
Next up for Naas is a KDUL Cup game against Kill Celtic’s major team next weekend.
With momentum building and confidence sky-high, this talented Naas squad has laid down a serious marker for the battles ahead. Up the Blues!
