Carniny Youth U10s who took part in the Slemish Cup at the weekend.

The Under 10’s enjoyed their day in the Northend United Youth-hosted tournament at Ballymena Showgrounds, which was well organised and had a very impressive 24 teams competing.

The boys played five matches initially getting beat in two and drawing in three. They progressed to a semi final which saw a 1-1 result meaning a penalty shoot out for the team. They unfortunately were beaten in penalties but this didn’t dampen their spirits.

Team: Clarke, McPeake, Bell, McCaughern, O’Loan, Young, Adger, McCorriston, Wylie, Joel.

This team will be playing in the South Belfast Youth League next season and anyone interested in joining the team should contact Colin McPeake 07590650924 for further info.
