Yeah it did go ahead despite the weather and DCU put on a bloody good tournament which was very well organised, its only a pity we can't say the same about the shambles that is the WSCAI. Inchicore and DCU got into the plate final, with Inchicore coming on out top by just the one goal and from what I hear it was a very tight match and DCU could have nicked an equaliser. In the cup a big shock as UL and UCD made it to the final instead of Sligo and UL who everybody had predicted-even a report on a2zsoccer says UL hope to get through their group where they will possibly play Inchicore and if they win it they would be playing sligo in the final! The only people who seemed to believe this wouldn't happen were UCD a fact demonstrated at the final the next day. In another tight match one wonderful strike from a UL player from about 30 yards out was all that separated them, with UCD hitting the post and having the ball cleared off the line in the dying miniutes. The behaviour of everybody there it seems bare three Inchicore players was utterly dispicable. Sligo players jeered and booed UCD throughout the match obviously unable to accept that they were beaten by a better team on the previous day-sore losers does not even come close as they even jeered a UCD player who was on the ground in agony after a UL player took her legs from under her receiving a yellow card in the process. There is no place in women's soccer for that kind of behaviour and Sligo along with WIT amongst others were an absolute disgrace to their colleges. The fact that the all the members of the executive committee of the WSCAI stood on UL's side of the pitch for the duration of the match is a sad indication that standards don't appear like they will improve anytime soon. Fair play to both UL and Inchicore for their respective wins.
