Young stars shine again at the Foyle Cup

Over 6000 young people accompanied by parents, grandparents, happily and colourfully paraded through Derry City centre in celebration of the 2018 O'Neills Foyle Cup.

The youth footballers were welcomed by the City’s Mayor, John Boyle as the football continued throughout the day with over 300 games played across the north west.

Larne Youths seaw off a spirited Hillsborough Boys in yesterday’s O’Neills Foyle Cup with a convincing 6-0 victory with striker Mcauley Johnston netting himself a hat-trick to go with two goals on Monday against Limavady.

It was all even in the first half with only two penalty shouts, one at either end, waved away by the referee. Indeed, Hillsborough had the best chance of the half with Carlos Braniff’s shot going wide of the upright in the dying stages. That changed dramatically in the first two minutes of the second period with Larne scoring twice.

Further goals midway through the game finished the contest and only good goalkeeping by Hillsborough’s Reuben Hampton kept the score to six.

Striker Johnston raised eyebrows at Templemore having netted five goals in two games and he will be one to look out for the under-12 section in the coming days.

Meanwhile, in the Under-14 section, Mickey Barr’s young charges, Derry Colts, were well beaten 3-1 by Ballymoney Academy at Thornhill. Two first half goals by striker Paul Kelpie and centre back Jacek Kedzierski put the Blues 2-0 up at half time and in control.

Fifteen minutes into the second half, Colts pulled a goal back through Darragh Stewart, only to concede a third within minutes, when from a corner on the right, Kelpie again was on hand to complete the scoring. Despite two late attempts to Derry Colts to get back into the game, Ballymoney held on for a convincing victory.

Local side Trojans saw off Dorchester Youths (Massachussetts, USA) in the featured U-16 Foyle Cup clash at Creggan last night by a comfortable scoreline of 5-1.

The more experienced local side led 2-0 at half time with goals from Tiernan Devine followed by a powerful header from a corner by centre back Shea Frazer. This was added to in the second period with three more goals, the best of, a 20 yards piledriver from Ryan McIntyre.
