Yet another good weekend for
the Club The Club had another good weekend in both league and SFAI Cup competitions. On a sour note, though, the under-11 team lost their second round SFAI Menton Seery Cup game, away to Ardmore, in Wicklow. Ardmore broke the substitute law blatantly, in front of all present and the Club must now decide whether to appeal on these grounds or not. Never in the Club's history have we appealed on something that happened on the field of play However, I think this situation may be different, as manager Brian Dunne was so disappointed over Ardmore management's blatant misuse of the substitute rule, that an appeal could be on the cards. Elsewhere in SFAI Cup competition, there were excellent wins for the Club's under-13 and under-15 teams. The Club's under-9 Premier and under-14 teams still remain unbeaten, while the under-10 Development and under-12s continued their recent good form. Player of the Week With the Club's under-12 team
now in a rich vein of form, Player of the Week goes to Mark Nolan of this
team, for a superb hat-trick in their away game, against Naas AFC. Goal of the Week This week's Goal of the Week
goes to Martin McNamee, from the Club's under-14 team. A great shot from
outside the box, after some great team approach Anniversary Tournament finals Last Sunday, the Club held
their Anniversary Tournament finals in a packed Paddy Maloney Park. Thanks
to the generous sponsorship of John, Marie and Orla Foley and Accelerated
Drain Cleaning, the Club could afford to provide what can only be described
as fabulous Cups and Trophies for all who took part. We kicked off with the
Colts section and then got into the thick of things, with the under-8s and
under-10 finals. In the under-8 final proper, Ireland never really got going
but, in fairness, a very strong Arsenal side, captained by John Collins, were
worthy winners. Liverpool, captained by Ross Mangan, won the under-10
section, a lone goal, by Evan Daly, enough to secure victory Results Under-8 B final Barcelona 3 - Real Madrid 7 Under-8 final Arsenal 3 - Ireland 0 Under-10 B final Barcelona 0 - Manchester
United 5 Under-10 final Liverpool 1 - Chelsea 0 At the presentation, Club
Chairman, Martin Doyle, congratulated all the players on a wonderful
tournament Anyone who had any doubts about the success of the Colts section
had only to look at the present under-8 section. He thanked the Foley family
and Accelerated Drain Cleaning for their generous sponsorship of Sunday
morning soccer. He thanked Theresa and Betty for collecting at the gate,
Doreen Daly for her magnificent programmes, Tess Doyle for cleaning the
jerseys and Terry, Mick, Marc and Snack, and everyone who helped out during
the tournament. 5th Annual Ollie Morgan
