Commenting after the tournament, teacher, Miss Murray said: “This event is superbly organised by the Irish Football Association (IFA) each year and we can’t thank them enough for the opportunity for so many girls getting to play short small sided games to learn more about the game.

"We had a range of experience playing from those new to the game to those who are playing weekly club football.”
