They went and got that Cup AGAIN!

Yet again the DWSL U14 were drawn away from home, just like all their other rounds...but that didn't matter! What does it take to stop our U14 Girls?

Having been 2:0 up at half time we managed to put another one away in the second half against Cork side Ballinhassig in Cork, to become All Ireland Champions..........again, having been successful at U12.

What can the rest of us say to you that has not already been said. We are all so proud of all your achievments to date and for all that you have accomplished in the name of Malahide United AFC.

The final takes place in Cork, against a Cork side Ballinhassig this Sunday August 12th. You will have many fans with you but the other 1,000 footballers, other 55 sets of team management, club officals, families, friends and relatives will be routing for you!

Bring that Cup back to Dublin Girls!

The winning goal was scored in the 23rd minute of the first half after some excellent interchanges in midfield. Nicole Owens burst through the defence and lobbed the goalkeeper. Her attempt rebounded off the upright and the cleverly positioned Katie Nimmo expertly volleyed from 12 yards. The Malahide girls performed brilliantly and their resilient defence could not be passed. Excellent goalkeeping by Emer Cassidy ensured a safe passage.

The team will now face the winners of Lifford v Ballinahassig in the final on August 12th.

The under 14’s are also well positioned to win this years DWSL title and also in the league cup semi-final against Raheny Utd.

We wish the girls all the best for the duration of the season

Seven Malahide United girls, Emer Cassidy, Ciara Gale, Hannah Spain, Niamh Lawlor, Nicole Owens, Ciara Harris and Niamh Walsh were on the North Dublin team which competed in the Gaynor Cup U14 competition and the team was managed by Tom Cassidy. Ulster went on to win this age group for the first time in the history of the tournament.

The WFAI Umbro Gaynor Cup is Ireland’s most prestigious representative tournament and is a key recruiting process for the International squads. Upon it’s inauguration, the age-groups were for Under-16 and Under-18 but in 2005, an Under-14 age-level was introduced in an effort to extend the development work being undertaken

Here are the panels for the U10, U12 and U13 Malahide DWSL squads and congratulations to all of you.

Thank you to all who attended the trials but it is impossible to select everyone who attended. For the younger players, it is the clubs intention to eastablish a new Nippers sessions for Saturday afternoons from September so keep watching this website for more news.

We would encourage all of you who turned up for the trials but were not successful this time round to come along to these Nipper sessions for some additional coaching. The fact that you all turned up for this years trials shows that you have what it takes and with a bit more coaching who knows - maybe next year?
