Skerries Town were invited to participate in the McDonalds/FAI Future Football program this year. A series of events were to be held across the country at Local, Regional & National level, with a group of clubs coming along to play each other in a non-competitive environment at U8, U9 and U10 age groups. The focus was on Fair Play and fun, not results and squads were a mix of boys and girls.
The club took part in local level event at the end of June which was held at Albion Rovers in Monasterboyce. The U8’s (2007’s) were selected to participate in the Regional event which took place on Saturday 22nd August at the National Sports Campus, Abbotstown. It’s a fantastic set-up at FAI headquarters, and the rain held off, which was a bonus! The team (4 boys & 3 girls) had 4 great games against Swords Manor, Lakelands and Esker Celtic (A & B). Some great performances, plenty of goals and lots of fun!!
Progress to the National finals will be selected on a random basis – so fingers crossed!!
