22nd February 2026

The SFAI Cup run for our under 16s came to an end in Limerick 22nd February losing out 2-0. Letterkenny Rovers gave a great account of themselves, causing problems for Pike from the start with a number of near miss opportunities. Pike we solid in defense and very dangerous on the counter and caused us a lot of issues from the corner spot. We were 1-nil down at half time but still had it all to play for. Pike got the second about 10 mins into the second half, Letterkenny were reduced to 10 and it became an uphill battle. Pike hit the crossbar on one occasion and were awarded a penalty. Rueben Carey pulled off an excellent save that kept us going but it wasn't to be.

The boys can be proud of the progress they have made and getting to this point. Best of luck to Pike Rovers as the proceed to the next round.
