Cork soccer league says 'lessons learned' over cup final and confirmation clash

Parents had cried foul over the clash between the cup final, due to take place last Saturday, and a Confirmation, which meant  Avondale could not field an under 13s team on the day

The Cork soccer league at the centre of a row over a cup final clash with Confirmations which cost an underage team their place in the showpiece tie says lessons have been learned and it will work closely with clubs in the future to resolve such situations.

But the Cork Women’s and Schoolgirls Soccer League (CWSSL) declined to comment on the outcome of the affected fixture, or to confirm which club, if any, had been awarded the trophy.
