How good has he been so far this week?

Premier captain, Alex Watson explains what the Super Cup NI means to these young footballers (with special thanks to City Tours Belfast for supporting our Premier squad)

"It is an honour and a privilege to captain my county and these bunch of players. I have known most of the lads since I was 5-6 years old and a lot of them are in my main circle of friends now.

I honestly feel with the squad we have this year we are a match for anyone and will give our all for Mick, Ben and the rest of the people who work so hard behind the scenes to make playing in this great tournament possible.

I played in the tournament last year under Mick and Ben and know what they expect from me and us as a group. Hopefully this year, for them as much as for ourselves, we can do County Antrim proud 💛 ⚽️"

What a win for the County Antrim boys tonight 👏👏

What a comeback for our Premiers tonight. 1-0 down, they came back to win 2-1 against a strong Shoshi side 💛🖤

22/07/2024

Great to sponsor the young kids going to the super cup this season.

What an opportunity it is for these kids to show case their talents and hopefully secure a future for themselves doing what they love.

Good luck from all at City Tours Belfast

Next up our Premiers take on County Armagh. Good luck boys
