Sunday 31st April was a great day for Lansdowne FC Youths success. We hosted two home back-tto-back quarter finals and won each match. Paul Nagle’s U13’s in a crunch decider against North Meath were behind 5-19 and came back to win 22-19. What a comeback! They now go on to play Navan on neutral ground next week.
The U14s had a good win in the Shield semi final against Clontarf. FT score 21-10. There was great commitment shown by the lads. Senior coach David O’Connor (DOC) was in the sideline and was a terrific influence on the boys. DOC has done a fantastic job for us this season. We hear that DOC has been given a full time contract with Ulster next season. We will miss him but wish him the very best of luck.
The 14s now go on to a cup semi against Blackrock on neutral venue TBC.
Meanwhile our 17s had a tough 17-0 win against Seapoint in the quarter final of the Metro Cup.
The u12s also won against Clontarf and Clondalkin winning 5 out of 6 games setting them up nicely for things to come.
