The Premier Final between Bolton and Etoile Lusitana at Ballymena Showgrounds
Etoile Lusitana lit up the Milk Cup final on Friday night to take the trophy to Africa for the first time, following a 2-1 win over Premiership side Bolton Wanderers in the Premier Final.

The Senegalese side sparkled, but none more so than Joao Mario Nunez Fernandes, who scored two first half-time goals.

Luke Woodlands scored a late header but it was too little, too late.

There was disappointment for Northern Ireland, who lost 3 nil to the United States in the elite final. The Americans just had too much steel for Nl.

In the Junior Final Chelsea won out 3-0. Jonathan Swift set up the first, scored the second and was fouled for the penalty which gave Chelsea the third.
