Munster Junior Cup Hard luck to our U 17 soccer team in today's semi final of the Munster Junior A Cup. The boys performed very well but unfortunately came up short against a very strong Carrigaline team. A massive achievement for these boys to get to this stage at the top level of schools football. We can now concentrate on the upcoming Munster Junior Trophy Final in the coming weeks.
