I congratulate St Luke's Football Club's under-17 team on winning its fourth cup on Friday night. What makes that so special is that this is their first year competing as an under-17 outfit. St Luke's senior football team has been the cornerstone of the Collin community for decades, but, over the past number of years, it has seen a drop-off in numbers, with many talented young boys dropping out of football at 16 and 17. Last year, the club put out a call for young players to join a new under-17 team and was overwhelmed by the response. The team has not looked back since and has been involved in so many community projects from community clean-ups to graffiti removal. They are an absolute credit to our community and to their parents. I also want it noted that none of that would be possible without the coaches who volunteer their time to give pathways to our young people to enable them to continue in sport. Well done to Ciaran Boyd, OB and all the lads.
