DUNMANWAY Town and Castlelack celebrated SuperValu West Cork Schoolboys and Schoolgirls League U13 Schoolboys trophy successes last weekend.

The Dunmanway club kicked off their final U13 Schoolboys Premier League match of the season safe in the knowledge that a win against second-placed Ardfield would secure the title.
