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.

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