Darragh Murphy A Mayoral Reception took place at City Hall this week to honour Tramore AFC, who are FAI Women's Under 17 Cup champions after a historic win at the Munster FA Turners Cross Stadium.

Tramore AFC completed a superb run to national success as they claimed the FAI Women’s Under-17 Cup with a 4-2 victory over Carrigaline United.

Francis McCann struck twice inside the opening 21 minutes before Saoirse Daly and Brooke Power added second-half goals to ensure Thomas Brett’s side held firm despite a spirited Carrigaline comeback led by Faye Hanratty and Sadhbh Minihane.

The side secured a deserved 4-2 win against strong competition, to crown a memorable campaign in style.
