FAI Umbro Intermediate Cup
One of the most coveted trophies for Intermediate clubs in Ireland, the FAI Intermediate Cup has a proud history. Avondale United, from Cork, claimed the trophy for the second consecutive season in 2011/12 and for the fifth time in their history when they beat Cherry Orchard, from Dublin, 2-1 after extra time of the final. Cherry Orchard had also been Avondale's opponents in the final the previous season and again lost narrowly, this time 0-1. Avondale will again compete in the 2013 final when they meet Bluebell United in Dublin on May 12.
