Over the past two months 15 teams have been taking part in an u-10 county football league which comes to a head on Saturday in Belclare pitch starting at 10am. The cup competition was presented by the Kilkerrin/Clonberne club five years ago with different clubs taking charge of the running of the competition, and for the past two years Corofin Ladies Football Club has hosted the event. As a result of sponsorship from Elite Oil Products Ltd Belclare, Corofin Ladies Football has been able to enhance the competition by introducing a shield competition. The two semi-finals will see Group A winners Salthill take on Group B runnrs-up Tuam/Cortoon, and Group B winners Corofin take on Group A runners-up Claregalway. The Elite Oil Shield and Kilkerrin/Clonberne Cup finals take place at 11.15am.
