Our Limerick Lions U18 boys were in action today at the U18 Billy Coffey National Cup Qualifying Tournament in Portlaoise — and what a day it was!
The boys opened their campaign with a strong performance against Kildare Gliders, starting fast and securing their first win of the day.
After a very short turnaround, they faced UCD Marian in Game 2. Despite a slower start, the team quickly found their rhythm and pulled away for a comfortable victory.
Following a well-deserved rest, the Lions met Boyne Warriors in their final group game. With top spot in the group on the line, the boys produced a superb all-round team performance, showcasing their depth and composure to claim another convincing win.
With three wins from three, the Lions top their group and advance as a top seed to Sunday’s semi-final where they’ll face a very strong St. Mary’s from Castleisland side at 11:30am in Portlaoise.
A win will see them book a place in the National Cup Quarter Finals.
Wishing the team and coaches the very best of luck tomorrow — let’s keep the momentum going! 🦁💪
A huge thank you also to Portlaoise Panthers for hosting a brilliantly organised tournament across two venues over the weekend.
