A Fantastic weekend which saw 280+ children take part, across two days, in the much missed Ardmore Rovers Mini World Cup on the 11th and 12th June. Covid had resulted in the Mini World Cup not being allowed to happen in 2020 and 2021 which meant there was a great excitement around this years event with a great turn out for both days.
Day 1, Saturday June 11th, saw the U11's to U15's split into two groups, giving us the older and younger competitions while Day 2, Sunday 12th, saw the U7's to U10's also split into two groups. There was some fantastic, competitive but well spirited football played both days with each team playing at least 5 games each leading to the following results:

Cup Winners: Ukraine
Cup Runners Up: Germany
Shield Winners: Ireland
Shield Runners Up: Cameroon
Plate Winners: Argentina
