"B" Squad Prepares for Leinster Senior League

The players of the "B" Squad under Manager Abrahim Abdul-Wahid are preparing hard for their debut in the Leinster Senior League in Division 3A. The squad has been training at Herbert Park in Dublin City for the past few months and held their first friendly game against a League side in the park on Tuesday August 6th 2007. The game against Bath Markiewicz Celtic was a very spirited game marked by some great displays of sheer determination and skill by the young players of the "B" Squad. Watched by the Club Chairman, Michael Merrigan and the Club Development Officer, Ian M. Kane, the lads gave a good strong account of themselves against the more experienced opposition. The lads even succeeded in encouraging the Club Development Officer to play in the second half for about twenty minutes due to some light injuries amongst our players. This was especially remarkable as this was the first competitive game in which most of the Squad had played together as a team and it was certainly a great game to watch. Good work lads!! The final score was DLTFC 1 : Bath Markiewicz Celtic 4
