The annual fathers versus sons Christmas challenge was played on 27th December as the under 13 footballers took on their dads. The game was refereed by Eddie Murphy who was kept on his toes as the youngsters had a once in a lifetime opportunity to vent some teenage tension at their unsuspecting dads.


Boasting a robust defence marshalled by Eamonn Dorney and Mel Devine, the fathers team roared into an early lead. The youngsters struck back but Mikey Dolan and Des O’Regan were too strong in midfield for the fathers team while man-of-the-match Mick Barry rolled back the years to help win the game for his side.
