The mens regional finals kicked off today (monday) at Waterford IT and NUI Maynooth.
Waterford IT
Last year’s winners of the National Futsal finals IT Carlow entered these regional finals as red hot favorites and they did not disappoint. They opened their account with a convincing 3-1 win over IT Carlow B, before comprehensively beating Portlaoise by 6 goals to 2. But it was not all plain sailing for the Carlow side as they had to dig out a last second equalizing goal against IT Waterford A. IT Carlow A then wrapped up the top spot by just one point with victory over Waterford IT B. Ray Fox and Shane Tracey put in solid performances throughout the four games.
