Who? I hear you ask.
Salthill claim under-21 league title (from http://www.irishfootballonline.com/news_story.php?newsid=5793)
Salthill Devon raised their first eircom under-21 League title on Wednesday night after defeating Cork City 2-1 in the final at Terryland Park, Galway. The County Galway club were the first club with no senior side in the eircom League to appear in the under-21 final but Salthill have now collected the Dr. Tony O'Neill Cup, denying Cork a clean sweep at under-21 level this year.
On top for much of the first half Devon failed to make the breakthrough until almost the hour mark. Michael Gilmore fired home from inside the box to put Salthill ahead.
On 63 minutes though, Cork levelled through Bryan McCarthy but a chaotic nine minutes saw Salthill regain the lead thanks to a 66th minute goal from Cian McBrien.
Salthill held strong in the closing minutes as Cork tried to force the game into extra time and emerged victorious.
