FAI SUMMER SOCCER SCHOOL IN BLARNEY

JULY 14-18

For the 5th consecutive year, Blarney United will host an FAI Summer Soccer School in O'Shea Park. Cost is €99 per child. One change this year is that there will be no "walk -ons" permitted. So my advise is to book early since the club will be unable to add extra children once the camp is full. The only method for booking is via the FAI website www.fai.ie or via the call centre on 1890-653653.

Republic of Ireland Under 16 manager, Vincent Butler has announced a 19 man squad for the upcoming double international friendly against Germany which will be played in Blarney in Cork and Listowel in Kerry.

 

Blarney United FC and Listowel Celtic FC will host the double international friendly against a highly regarded German side on April 8th & 10th respectively with Listowel hosting the very first football international ever to be held in Kerry.

 

Included in the squad are two members of the Listowel Celtic team, defender, David Culhane and striker, Bryan Murphy. Representing Cork in the side is Anthony O’ Connor who plays with Kilreen Celtic and John Egan who is a defender with Greenwood FC.

 

German based striker, Selcuk Tidim is recalled to Butler’s squad as he is rewarded for his fine scoring form with five goals in seven games for the Republic since his debut in November 2007. The German born striker qualifies for the Republic of Ireland through his Irish-born mother and plays with German side, St. Pauli near Hamburg.

The Republic of Ireland’s under 16 squad will take on Germany in a challenge match on Tuesday, April 8th in O'Shea Park, Blarney. Vincent Butler, manager of the Irish squad, was not surprised at the decision to play one of the world’s superpowers, Germany, at these tremendous facilities. “I have visited both grounds over the past few months and the amenities on offer are some of the best in the country".

Butler added, “Blarney United's playing pitch, as well as their all - weather pitch and training facilities are second to none. I am looking forward to bringing international football to Cork and I am definite that the local football community will embrace this marvellous achievement when we host Germany next April.”
