A comprehensive match report has been put on the under 10 match report web page. |
| The under 12s have reached the final of the J McDonald Cup. The final will take place on Wednesday 18 April 2007. Venue to be announced later.
Well done to the boys and to Brendan, the quiet shy one, and Paul.
There was a great turn out on Saturday past at Hydebank for the under10s in the Glen O'Hare cup final, and we want the blue and black army mobilised in force again for this one. We'll give you the details when we hear them. |
| The Cranmore Colts go through to the Quarter finals of the cup.
|
| A bad day at the office for an out of sorts under 11s yesterday at Ormeau Park.
However, despite going down 3 - 1, the race to the title is still on. Wins in the last two games will force a play off and a second crack at Dungoyne.
So, get the heads up again, mighty midgets. Tomorrow night its Bloomfield, back at Ormeau again.
Aquinas for the premiership, Derby for the Championship!!! |
| Under 11 blast past SOPYC.
A comfortable win over Plunkett's moves the under 11s one step closer to the title. Victory over Dungoyne on Monday night and we should have one hand on the trophy.
Kick off 6.15pm at Ormeau Park.
We want the blue and black army out in force for this one.
|
| Under 11 continue march to championship!
A convincing 5 - 0 victory over Glentoran on Monday and a 3 - 2 win over the cross Lagan rivals from Rosario saw the under 11s march two steps closer to the league title.
Its SOPYC on Saturday and then the big one on Monday night - Dungoyne, at Strangford, kick off 6.15pm. If we win both games, its looking good! |
| Under 11 NIBFA Semi Final
The semi final is Thursday 19 April at Billy Neill against Rosario. Kick off 7.00pm.
We want the blue and black army out in force for what should hopefully be a memorable night for the club with our place booked in our fourth NIBFA final in a row. |

Nick's a Winner!
Aquinas Red Star Under 13 player, Nick Ferguson, was a recent winner in a competition run by the Belfast Community Telegraph in association with CIS, local sponsors of youth football in Northern Ireland.
Nick won a dozen training footballs for his team when he recently entered the Belfast Telegraph competition and corrrectly answered the following question:- "What does CIS stand for?" Not sure? - then ask Nick when you see him at training on Wednesday nights at the Dub!
Congratulations Nick - well done and thanks. Not only are your managers delighted, but the Club treasurer is pretty pleased too!

| The Under 11s have reached the Quarter finals of the NIBFA cup and will play Don Bosco at 11 a.m. on Saturday 10th March at Ormeau Park. Everyone is welcome to come along and lend their support. Come on the Blue n' Blacks!! |

Well done Stevie and Gary and the galacticos!!
