Scoil Eoin defeated Pope John Paul Malahide 2-1 on penalties in the final, with both teams progressing to the Fingal Finals on 27 January. The winners of this competition will progress to the Leinster Finals which will be held on 10 February.
Denis Hyland FAI/ Fingal CC Football Development Officer stated, “It’s great to see all these young footballers playing in an organised tournament, showcasing their skills, playing without competing in a great spirit. We owe a ‘big thank you’ to all the teachers who have given up their time to take the kids here today, I think the biggest reward for them is all the many smiling faces we see around us”.
