* Wesley College completed a first ever Junior league and cup double as they beat Holy Child, Killiney in the final of the cup last week. Wesley raced out of the blocks and created a number of good attacks in the first 10 minutes, one of which resulted in a corner which was switched left for Sophie Pratt to hit a powerful drive into the corner.
Killiney, though, regrouped quickly showing pace and skill going forward as the game opened up markedly. Killiney went close from a corner of their own from a cleverly worked switch. And the pattern continued into the second half but Wesley were able to channel the ball carriers wide to deny clear-cut chances to play out a 1-0 win, giving Anna May Whelan the honour of lifting her second title of the year.
Wesley College: K Reidy, J Anderson (vc), K Armitage, K Barry, R Allen, A-M Whelan (c); C Samuel, L Haughton, L McGrane, S Pratt, S Foudy
Subs: L McKay, R Fitzpatrick, A Shanahan, S Quill

Any idea if the John Waring will be televised this year?
Does anyone know which clubs compete for the U17 title and how does a club get "invited" into the league?
Well done to Holy Child Killiney. Great to see a different school contesting a final. Did anyone manage to get down to see the game? I heard it was a great match
This year Corinthians, Clontarf, Hermes and Loreto.
