The most exciting news for the teams was for the Under 12s and Under 14 squads. The U12s were drawn in the same group as Sheffield Utd, and whilst it will be a tough task the boys will be relishing the opportunity to play against a top level cross channel English academy side. They will also play Maiden City, and Inishowen Youth League sides in their group.

Likewise the U14s also received a tough draw, in the same group as Celtic, another great experience for the young Carniny boys. Like their U12 counterparts they have also been drawn against an Inishowen youth League Select team and Donegal Schoolboy Select team.
