TOGHER Celtic celebrated SuperValu West Cork Schoolboys and Schoolgirls League U15 Trophy and U16 Premier Division Schoolboys successes last weekend.

Celtic wrapped up a convincing U15 Schoolboys Championship Trophy win by beating Clonakilty AFC in a two-legged final.

In the first leg, a 4-0 victory put Togher firmly in the driving seat thanks to goals from Filip Kowalewski (2), Ryan Brickley and Liam Murray.

Enjoying home advantage for last Saturday’s second leg, Celtic confirmed a successful end to their campaign following a tough battle.

A 5-3 win and 9-3 aggregate success was achieved thanks to a Kowalewski hat-trick. Jack Buttimer and Liam Murray also found the net.

Togher Celtic U15s: O Lehane, C O’Callaghan, M Murphy, O Murray (captain), A Hurley, T Noonan, R Brickley, S O’Mahony, J Kearney, F Kowalewski, T O’Farrell, P Crowley, L Murray, H Dowling.

Togher Celtic were confirmed as this season’s U16 Schoolboys Premier Division champions too.

Levi Bosma’s hat-trick, plus additional Michael Galvin and Daniel Vassallo efforts, secured a 5-1 win over Drinagh Rangers in the first leg of the Premier Trophy play-off last month.

Last Sunday’s walkover victory in the second leg ensured Celtic finished the campaign as champions.

Togher Celtic U16s: O Murray, R Crowley, J O’Farrell, A Hurley, L Bosma, M Galvin, S O’Mahony, S Galvin, D Galvin, J Duggan, D Vassallo, E Hurley, P Crowley, F Kowalewski, E Lynch, T Sweetnam, S Dwyer, M Gottstein, F McCarthy, L McCarthy.

Drinagh Rangers made progress in the SFAI U16 National Schoolgirls Trophy competition last weekend. The WCSSL side came out on the right side of a ten-goal second round thriller with Springfield, winning 6-4 on the club’s new astroturf pitch.

Rangers will be away to the winners of either Lakewood Athletic or Park United in their next SFAI outing where the winners will reach the round of 32, the national stage of the competition.

Rosie O’Donovan was on top form for Drinagh, scoring five times in a tie Laoise Young also found the net.

The final game in this season’s U13 Schoolboys Championship Division, won by Castlelack, saw Bay Rovers defeat Clonakilty AFC Greens 4-2. That result cemented a joint-second place finish for the Kealkill club alongside Lyre Rovers. Oskar Ustjanowski (two), Teddy O’Grady and Iarla McElhinney scored for Bay.

Ardfield wrapped up an U13 Schoolboys Premier League runners-up spot with a 4-1 victory at home to Skibbereen Dynamos.

Bay Rovers were crowned this season’s U16 Premier Division champions following a two-legged victory over Dunmanway Town.

Prior to the second leg, the Kealkill club registered a 3-1 win on their home ground thanks to a Dominic Placzek brace and Brendan Harrington effort.

Dunmanway hosted the second and deciding leg of the U16 Schoolboys Premier Division trophy decider which turned into a nine-goal extravaganza.

Both sides attacked at the earliest opportunity resulting in an end-to-end encounter. Bay Rovers enjoyed the better start and moved 5-1 ahead on aggregate after Con Desmond and Brendan Harrington found the net.

Admirably, Dunmanway Town responded and turned a 2-0 second leg deficit into a 3-2 lead courtesy of two Eanna Hayes goals and an Alex Bramoulle strike. Hayes completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot but it wasn’t enough to prevent a resurgent Bay Rovers from retaking control.

Three unanswered goals, from Shane O’Brien, Ruairi O’Brien and Leo Mena, clinched Rovers’ terrific 5-4 second leg win and 8-5 aggregate victory. The Premier Division champions could yet add another trophy to their cabinet if they overcome Clonakilty AFC in this season’s U16 Schoolboys Shield final.

Bay Rovers U16s: C Hourihan, K Nash, R Barrett, S Wiseman, C Desmond (captain), R O’Brien, J O’Kane, B Daly, B Harrington, D Placzek, S O’Brien, O Myler, L Castell, M Leahy, L Farrelly, A Ring, R Kennan.

Bunratty United won the 2025 U16 Schoolboys Glass Trophy following a two-legged defeat of Sullane.

The Schull club travelled to Ballyvourney for the opening leg where they registered a 3-1 triumph. Charlie O’Connor twice found the net with Max O’Reilly completing a fine afternoon’s work. Luke Buckley replied for Sullane.

Disappointingly, Sullane’s inability to field a team in the second leg handed Bunratty an automatic 3-0 win and 6-1 aggregate success before being presented with the trophy.

Bunratty United U16s: A Lawson, F Murphy, M Bowen, A Whelton, M Moynihan, M Ward (captain), M O’Reilly, C O’Connor, J Goggin, K Bennett, C O’Driscoll, L Moynihan.
