LIMERICK CBS will bid to win an unprecedented third Umbro FAI Schools Senior Boys National Soccer title in-a-row when they take on Connacht champions, St. Joseph’s College, Galway at Terryland Park on Wednesday, May 6 at 2pm.
Two key members of the Limerick CBS squad, Eoin Hanrahan and Jason Hughes, will be hoping to complete their own piece of history by collecting a third All-Ireland senior medal at this level next week - both talented young stars are current under-18 schoolboy internationals.
Limerick CBS claimed their fifth Munster Senior Boys title in-a-row with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Colaiste Mhuire of Cobh earlier this season. The Sexton Street side secured their place in next week’s All-Ireland decider thanks to a convincing 3-0 semi-final win over Leinster champions, Tallaght CS. Goals from Cian Byrnes, captain Eoin Hanrahan and Derek O’Hanlon helped the Munster champions secure that comfortable win.
Limerick CBS will be aiming to claim their sixth All-Ireland title in all in this grade as the renowned sporting nursery also won the competition twice in the 1970s. The Limerick CBS side is managed by Mike Molyneaux, while current Limerick FC star and Limerick CBS past pupil, Tommy Barrett is the team coach.
Meanwhile Limerick FC are busy preparing for their League of Ireland First Division clash with Sporting Fingal on Friday night at Santry’s Morton Stadium (kick-off 7.45pm).
The Super Blues will welcome Limerick CBS’ Jason Hughes and Crescent’s Ian Storan back to the squad for this crucial league clash. Sporting, who have won six league games in-a-row, are the favourites to prevail.
