SKB FINISH 3rd @ THE FOYLE CUP 2011

Our lone representatives at this years Foyle Cup were our Under 15 Premier team of last season who participated in the Under 16 age group.

Following their narrow 3-2 defeat on Friday night against Donegal Schoolboys League in the Foyle Cup Semi-final our squad made sure of 3rd place yesterday morning with an emphatic 4-0 win over Ballybrack Boys in the 3rd/4th place play-off thereby rounding-off a very successful week in this competition and it also served as a useful preparation for the DDSL season ahead.

Following the group stages they qualified for a quarter final meeting on Friday morning against Limerick at the Vale Centre.  The first goal scored was always going to be a decisive factor in a game like this and luckily it went our way when Corey Franzoni converted a penalty following a foul on Conor McDonald and they held on to record a 1-0 win and progress to the semi final the same evening against the Donegal Schoolboys League.

Under the management of Elliott Morgan and Joe Byrne they had got off to a flying start with  two wins and a draw in their three group games  with a goal aggregrate of 9-0. On Tuesday at Prehan they accounted for Ballyclare Comrades on a 6-0 scoreline while on Wednesday evening they defeated Derry Colts 3-0 at Lisnagelvin.   On Thursday they played The Inishowen League and drew 0-0 in what was  their toughest group game and one which decided Group F winners.
