GOODSON CUP U-14
12:30pm Leicester Celtic (Dublin) -v- Cherry Orchard (Dublin)
Leicester have come close to the Final on the last two occasions but have been unfortunate. The club haven't tasted the sweetness of a National Cup victory since 98 and would relish another chance. Leicester defeated Corbally from Limerick in the semis after a replay, while Cherry Orchard were lucky to scrape through after a controversial semi with Stella Maris in The Lawns, 2-1 After Extra Time.
The Orchard could also be on course for a surprising league victory . They are due to play Belvedere twice and Drogheda in their remaining fixtures, which will be vital.

A repeat, a repeat, a repeat, a repeat of The Goodson cup last year where Joeys were victorious. WFTA have been in good form of late and have taken major scalps on course.
St Joseph's beat Stella Maris After Extra Time in their semi, where they can feel fortunate as Stella are unlucky not to be involved on Sunday.
