Huge congratulations to Noel O’Connor (Manager) and the MIC Soccer team who beat the University of Limerick for the first time ever earlier today in the quarter final of the Collingwood Cup. The Collingwood Cup, which is the premier University soccer championship, is this year  being hosted by UL and earlier today the MIC soccer team came back from being one goal down to winning the game two goals to one with the all-important  goals being scored by John Hutton and Cormac Crowe.

The first Collingwood was held in 1914 and is by some distance Ireland’s oldest all-island senior Soccer Competition. This year marks the 25th Anniversary of Limerick first hosting the event. This year, for the first time ever, Collingwood matches will be played in County Clare as UL’s state of the art new synthetic pitches and brand new Pavilion in Cappavilla are scheduled to host matches over the course of the week.

The games, which commenced on Monday will continue tomorrow with Mary Immaculate College scheduled to play either UCC or NUIG  at 2pm and the 2012 Collingwood cup final will kick off at 2PM, Thursday February 23rd, on the University Bowl.

Well done and best of luck!
