Ten players (2 teams) represented Waterford in the Irish Street Soccer League Finals that took place recently in Dublin.
Since early February, the lads got together every Friday afternoon in Ozier Park to prepare for this tournament through rain, hail or sunshine. Twenty four teams from all over Ireland took part, the Minster for Youth & Children Affairs, James Reilly and FAI CEO, John Delaney were amongst those in attendance. By all accounts, both Waterford teams gave a very good performance, with one team reaching the semi-final. Congratulations to Adam Caulfield who took home the Waterford ‘Player of the Year’ Award. Both Adam and Dale Sheridan received a call up for trials to represent Ireland in the World Cup Street League, which takes place in Chile in October.
Special thanks to TREO’s project worker, Danny Murphy for motivating and encouraging the lads each week, Terence O’Neill, Manager of McGuire House and to Villa Football Club for the use of their facilities
