It has been 3 yrs since City's youths won the coveted FAI youth cup and to my knowledge there is only 1 maybe 2 (help me out here) players from that team in the current senior squad. Alan bennett being the only one I can recall. (not sure about CAREY).
Anyway what has happened to the rest of that team anyone care to enlighten me. To win the FAI youth cup is no easy task with the quality of youth teams around the country and especially in the Dublin area. An area known to dominant the cup. Not to forget also that team was one of the first teams from cork and surrounding area to win the FAI cup in years. I know Gamble and Delaney were also in the squad and have gone on to try and make a good career for themselves. But isnt the youth squad the nursery of CCFC. It is sad to see so few of them still involved with CCFC. I know there was a striker with them named O'mahony (no relation) and i think he is playing GAA with neil horgan at st finbarrs. There was also a young fella from limerick on goal. Cant remember his name. Shame though these were great prospects.
If you can think of any others let me know please...
