It was an unusual occasion at Ballyadam Park as two Carrigtwohill United teams went head-to-head in the Under-14 Girls Local Cup, but it turned into a fantastic spectacle of football.

From the first whistle to the last, both sides showed tremendous grit, determination and commitment, producing an entertaining and competitive contest over the full 70 minutes. There was plenty of quality on display, with both teams battling hard, supporting one another and showing great character throughout. The effort, teamwork and positive attitude of all the girls were a credit to the players and coaches involved.

While it was a unique occasion to see two Carrigtwohill teams competing against each other, it was also a wonderful demonstration of the strength and depth of talent developing within the club's schoolgirls section.

Both teams deserve enormous credit for their performances, with the skill, enthusiasm and determination on display providing plenty of reasons for optimism.
