We are devastated beyond words that our much loved club member, Reece Farrell, passed away on Friday night in the Mater Hospital. We are heartbroken for Reece’s Dad Tom and the rest of the Farrell family.
Reece was a kind and gentle young man who was passionate about his footbal. He will be sadly missed by everyone in the Academy.

Our thoughts are with the Farrell family at this time.
RIP Reece

This past weekend was another special one for our Club as the Republic of Ireland CPMNT took on Northern Ireland at the home of Clones Town in Co. Monaghan.

In a playing squad of 17, 14 of the players came through the ranks at our Club.
Club players Ruadhan Dooley McDonagh, Sam Mangan, Luke Staunton, Darryl Fay and Sam Graham all made their first appearances in the Green shirt in a 9-0 win for the Republic.

Eight of the nine goals on the day were scored by Club players.
Warren Morrissey scored twice and there was a fine finish from Eric O’ Flaherty to mark his return to the National team.
There were first international goals from Club players Conor Halpin and Jack O’ Sullivan, as well as debut goals for Darryl Fay (x1) and Sam Graham (x2)
International Captain and CP football legend Dillon Sheridan was the other goalscorer.

We are immensely proud of all of our players, past and present, who have pulled on our National team shirt

Another season has rolled to a finish for us. It’s been another great few months filled with unforgettable moments and memories. Just a few of our favourites are pictured below
💚🖤🤍

We’ve picked up some trophies, unbelievable team performances and experiences across every group this year. It’s not quite finished for all of our players yet as some of them will be embarking on the trip of a lifetime to the USA with the Club next week.
We will also have players training with our national teams through the summer preparing for the Men’s and Women’s World Cup later this year.

We’ve had more young players knocking on the door of our MNT.
New players have come through the gates in the AUL to push us on to another successful year next year.

We’re into our tenth calendar year as the CP Development Academy but next season will be our tenth season and we hope to make it a special one 💪🏻 More on that very soon.

A huge thank you to all of the parents, grandparents, guardians, family members and friends who take the time to get the players to training every week.
Thank you to our coaches, committee members and volunteers for all of the tireless work throughout the year.

Most of all, thank you to our players for your passion, dedication and hard work.
YOU make our Club special 🙏🏻
Have a great summer everyone ☀️
💚🖤🤍
