Congratulations

Congratulations to St Francis Under 14 team who last weekend under the guidance of Athlone Town goalkeeping coach Anthony Jinks won the Lions Club tournament defeating their opponents by 4 goals to 1 in the final held in Portlaoise. 

We would also like to congratulate Willow Park Under 11s who under the guidance of Joe McEvoy reached the final of the Danone Cup in Dublin recently and only failed to reach the world stage of the tournament when defeated by Shelbourne 1-0.

These are All Ireland tournaments and full credit must go to all the players along with coaches and managers on their wonderful achievements.
