WEST WATERFORD EAST CORK SCHOOLBOYS SOCCER
Kennedy Cup 2016
Not our year in Limerick as we finish 32nd without a win and only scoring one goal (Jody Beckers – Ballymac FC) but the experience the boys gained from the week will stand to them in years to come.
Cork while they beat us in the opening game were very good and went all the way to the cup semi-finals only losing out on pens to Galway. Dundalk contested the trophy having only beaten us 2-1 in the quarter-final so while we lost all our games the margins are very small and our league, the smallest in the country, is never going to win the Kennedy Cup but can compete at our own level with leagues of similar size.
This squad have made some great friends and that is what they will bring away from this week.
The committee of the league would like to thank Damien Carroll and Aisling Coleman for their hard work and commitment to this squad for the last few seasons.
The WWEC Referee Society also had Vinnie Coonan represent them at the tournament for the week in UL officiating in 13 games during the week as referee, assistant referee and fourth official and we would like to say well done to him also.
Results: 0-6 v Cork, 0-2 v Cavan Monaghan, 0-1 v South Tipperary, 1-2 v Dundalk, 0-2 v Limerick County, 0-5 v Carlow
