Thanks to the players and management of our Academy Cup team who done the Club and Irish football proud on the pitch over the weekend. (Photo shows Roland Banya scoring the winner against FC Barcelona on Saturday)

A big big thank you also to everyone who volunteered for all the work necessary to make the Academy Cup Tournament the great occasion that it has become, without your help the Tournament would not be the success it is and your efforts are greatly appreciated.

We are also extremely grateful to all those individuals and companies who helped us by way of sponsorship or who donated goods and services - every little helps and we hope that you will support Academy Cup 2017.

The planning has already begun.
