Jack Byrne winning the under 17 ‘3’ FAI International player of the year award rounded off a great weekend for the Club.

Our 17 Premier and 18 Super qualified for the quarter final of the Leinster Youth Cup with convincing home wins over Rathnew F C (8-0) and Shelbourne F C (3-1) respectively. The 18’s maintained their impressive run of form which has seen them qualify also for the quarter final of the FAI Youth Cup in this game against their League opponents but they were never in danger of losing this game having taken a 3-0 lead by half time with goals from Stephen Duffy (2) and Ciaran Nolan they had a fourth from under 16 Premier player Jamie Gray harshly ruled out for off side late in the game.

Our 16 Premier travelled to Ardee in the SFAI Barry Cup and came away with a very impressive 6 – 1 win.

On the League front our 15 Premier saw off Mountview Boys – a team who took them to extra time last week in the SFAI Evans Cup – 11 -0 away to maintain their unbeaten run in the DDSL Premier League while our 14 Premier defeated League rivals St Josephs Boys coming from behind to win 2 – 1 in Sallynoggin with goals from Jordan Pitshou and Dylan Reilly.

On the NDSL Cup front there was a clean sweep of wins for our teams: 12 Premier (7-0) v Clontarf, 12 C (4-1) v Dunboyne, 13 Premier (6-0) v Clontarf, 14 Premier (2-1) v HHFC, 15 Premier (2-1) v Swords Celtic.

Our under 14A came up against the unbeaten 14 Major side Mountview Boys away in the DDSL Harmon Cup and it looked for a long way that Denis Cassidy’s side would cause an upset having taken a 2-0 lead in the first fifteen minutes and being level 3-3 at half time but the superiority of the home team told in the second half and they ran out comfortable winners.
