Callan make soccer history as United march into final
Kilkenny side reach National Cup decider with 2-1 win at weekend
A Kilkenny soccer club scored a proud first as one of their girls' teams booked their place in a national cup final.
There were cheers all over Callan as the Callan United under-17 girls' team reached a national final for the first time in the club's history.
United stood firm as they got the better of Dublin outfit Kilnamanagh on the Fair Green, the hosts going through on a 2-1 scoreline. Chloe Tennyson and Roisin Foley (penalty) grabbed the goals as Callan saw off the Dubs, the home club of Irish international and Champions League winner Katie McCabe, to book their place in the final.
Callan will face Connacht opposition in the FAI Women's Under-17 Cup decider as they take on Athenry of Galway.
