See some brilliant photographs from the day below:
The 28th Annual Lee Strand U13 Tournament took place at the weekend with another feast of brilliant football on display. The weather on Saturday couldn’t be better, which added to the occasion. Congratulations again to all involved in this brilliantly organized Tournament with so many Club members – too numerous to mention – working so hard to make it such a success. However, long-time Juvenile Secretary, Michael Lynch and the one and only Denis O’Connor (there from day one in 1986) deserve special mention. Our thanks to Club Photographer Adrienne for the following photographs from the day:
