Christ King Girls' and Crescent Comprehensive win Munster Post Primary Schools Futsal titles

Report courtesy of James Scott, FAI Development Officer for North Tipperary

Nenagh Arena was the setting for the Post Primary Schools Futsal Finals on two separate days last week: The girls kicked off proceedings on Wednesday, 17 November while the boys entertained the crowds on Thursday, 18 November:

Both days provided some very high level futsal with many goals and some very exciting and close encounters in the early stages:

Christ King Girls’ Secondary School and last year’s Provincial Champions & All Ireland winners Causeway finished first and second in their respective group stages:

Tipperary’s Colaiste Dun Iascaigh were very unlucky not to make the final having also performed very well throughout the day:

The final was a very close affair with Christ Kings Girls’ SS emerging as champions having scored the only goal of the game:

The girls teams represented on the day comprised of St: Caimin’s Community College, Shannon (Clare), Christ King Girls’ Secondary School (Cork), Causeway Comprehensive (Kerry), St: Nessan’s Community College (Limerick), Colaiste Dun Iascaigh, Cahir (Tipperary) and St: Angela’s Ursuline Convent (Waterford):

The boys group was eagerly contested with all but three of the sixteen games played, decided by one goal or less:

Crescent comprehensive played some top class futsal with their display of speed and agility on the ball, their fluid passing and accuracy in front of goal, all leading to a winning combination: The Limerick school emerged as Champions against an impressive Mary Immaculate of Lisdoonvarna with the final score 3/1:

The boy’s teams represented were Ashton School (Cork), Mary Immaculate Secondary School, Lisdoonvarna (Clare), Mercy Mounthawk School, Tralee (Kerry), Crescent Comprehensive Secondary School (Limerick) and Waterpark College (Waterford):

Both Christ King Girls’ SS and Crescent Comprehensive progress to the National Finals which will be held on Tuesday, 7 December at Gormanston College: We wish the schools the very best of luck in their endeavours to be crowned All Ireland Champions:

The event which is part of the FAI’s football in schools programme will be co/ordinated by National Development Officer for Schools, Mr: Ian Carry: For further information please contact Ian on 086 043 7686:
