The young players of Manorhamilton Rangers FC enjoyed a VIP trip of a lifetime to meet the Irish team and enjoy a training session at the FAI camp. 

The club won a Circle K Ireland competition and got to meet a host of Irish soccer players including Premier League and Champions League winner Caoimhin Kelleher along with Gavin Bazunu, Matt Doherty and Josh Cullen

The young Leitrim players experienced what the club described as the "stuff of dreams" as they got to meet their heroes. 

"This truly was a once in a lifetime experience for the club and we were delighted to have them," Circle K posted on social media. 

The Leitrim players got to do a guard of honour for the goalkeepers and as the video below shows, a certain Cork keeper was particularly popular.
