The annual Carlyle Aviation Football Tournament brought supporters and participants together for another incredible day of competition. The event, which took place for the 9th time, was a resounding success, showcasing not only the love of football but also the power of collective support for a noble cause.
What makes this tournament remarkable is its mission. The event serves as a fundraiser for the Cancer Clinical Research Trust, an incredibly worthy cause. Previously, it has raised over €250,000, contributing to the ongoing battle against cancer. This year alone it raised over €100,000 which is a significant achievement.
PAFS Ireland emerged as an impressive force on the field, going unbeaten in all four of their group games. Following wins against Pivotal, Vistra and Maples, a draw against hotly tipped AerCap was enough to see PAFS Ireland emerge as group winners. A win against Matheson in the Quarter Final from a solitary well worked goal saw the team through to the Semi Final against the defending champions, Avolon. Despite going ahead, PAFS Ireland fell at this hurdle.
The Carlyle Aviation Football Tournament has consistently delivered well-organized and highly attended gatherings, making it a staple on the calendar for aviation and football enthusiasts alike. The sense of camaraderie and unity at the event is truly something special.
