Pembroke host successful schools tournament

Pembroke Wanderers last month hosted a very successful schools tournament for 4 junior boys and 5 junior girls schools teams. The aim of the day was to promote Pembroke as a Club to young players in schools in the immediate area and their parents. We are very proud of our Colts and Fillies sections and our record of integrating young players into both Mens and Ladies sections – currently the Junior section is run by Ian Wolfe and Sinead Guilfoyle, along with West Thornton (chief organiser of the event), Deirdre Mackay and a host of volunteers on the day they helped to run a very enjoyable tournament for everyone involved. Thanks to those who gave up their free-time.

On the girls side teams were Loreto Dalkey, Mount Sackville, Mount Anville, Wesley and St.Andrews. Played in “blitz” round-robin format, ie 25 mins. Wesley won overall, winning all 4 games. All results were tight, ranging from 0-0 to 2-0. Well done to Wesley.

Boys teams were Sandford Park, St. Killians, Wesley and St.Andrews. Round robin format, 30 min. With less teams than the girls there was time for a final between top placed Wesley and St.Killians. Wesley won final 2-0. Well done lads.
