The Under 12s – who play in the mini soccer section at seven-a-side – have been drawn against Hearts FC, St Oliver Plunketts FC and Ballymoor FC, who they will play in the group stages.

The Under 12s are no strangers to the tournament, as they won the Foyle Plate last summer and will be looking to go one better this year by challenging for the Foyle Cup.

The Under 13s will be making their debut performance at the tournament, and have looking forward to the tournament since the end of their domestic season.

Coincidentally, the 13s have also been drawn against Hearts FC, with Limavady Utd and South Donegal Schoolboys also in the group.

Both teams have had little break from the end of their respective seasons, continuing training and playing various friendlies.
