The girls were from the 11 teams that were drawn from 100 football clubs who participated in this year’s Aviva Soccer Sisters camps during the Easter mid-term break.
Some 7,000 footballers took part in the free camps aimed at encouraging young girls to get involved in playing football.
Republic of Ireland Women’s National Team player and Aviva Soccer Sisters ambassador Izzy Atkinson was there on the day to meet the young players.
Speaking at the event, Atkinson said it was the opportunity of a life-time for the girls.
She said: “It’s just such a wonderful experience for the girls to get to play out there today. I would have been over the moon to get this experience when I was their age and I’m sure they’ll always remember it.
“It was great to hear about the big increase in the number of girls taking part in the camps, and I’m sure this will just encourage them all to come back next year. It’s all about encouraging as many girls as possible to play football and seeing them all out there enjoying themselves is just great.”
Players from the Under-17 Só Hotels Women’s National League also took part in the Dream Camp by coaching the girls and refereeing the games.
