RAMPANT NAAS HIT FIVE IN SENSATIONAL ATHY TOWN DEMOLITION!
What a performance! Naas AFC’s Boys U14 (2013) Premier superstars put on an absolute masterclass on Sat, 03 Oct 2026, roaring to an emphatic Naas AFC 5–0 Athy Town derby triumph over Athy Town!
Naas started brightly and controlled the game from the opening stages. There was plenty of attacking play down both sides, with the lads moving the ball well and repeatedly getting into dangerous areas.
The only thing missing was the goal.
Athy’s goalkeeper was in excellent form throughout the first half, producing a string of saves as Naas struggled to turn their possession and chances into a breakthrough.
Eventually, just before half-time, the pressure told.
The message at half-time was simple: stay patient, get the ball down and keep trusting the way Naas want to play. Continue building from the back, work the ball through the phases and the opportunities would come.
The lads did exactly that.
Hin, who had come on down the left for Leo, found Peter and the captain made no mistake to give Naas some breathing room.
Then came arguably the move of the game.
The move started right back with the goalkeeper rolling the ball out to Max at right-back. Max found Jake, who moved it on to Charlie at centre-back. Charlie switched the play across to Kellum, who combined with Hin down the left.
Hin worked the ball into the box and Senan did the rest, producing a brilliant left-footed finish into the top corner.
It was an excellent team goal and exactly the type of football the lads had been encouraged to keep playing — patient build-up from the back, moving the opposition through the phases before finding the opening.
Naas weren’t finished yet.
Leo provided the final ball and Antoni finished well to round off the scoring and complete another good afternoon for Naas.
Naas could certainly have played better at times, but it’s difficult to complain about a 5–0 victory.
The most pleasing aspect was the patience shown after a frustrating opening half. Rather than abandoning the game plan, the lads continued to get the ball down, build from the back and trust their football.
Five goals, a clean sheet and another three points.
Plenty still to work on, but another positive step forward. 🔵⚪
With momentum building and confidence sky-high, this talented Naas squad has laid down a serious marker for the battles ahead. Up the Blues!
