2011 NI Milk Cup Winners Aspire Academy (Qatar) celebrate their win over Manchester United in the Final at Ballymena Showgrounds

Star of the show Drame who netted a first half treble taking his tally to nine goals for the tournament and collecting the golden boot in the process.

Aspire boss Simon Jennings said afterwards:"We are trying to develop them all the time.

"We bring them to tournaments like the Milk Cup to expose them against players like Manchester United and it's a privilege to be on the same pitch as them.

"The boys were better prepared this year. We knew what to expect, got together early and were better prepared.

"The plans are to keep on developing and we know that we have a good group of young professionals on our hands here."

Aspire signalled their intentions as early as the second minute when Allasame Diallo picked the ball up just outside the box and posted an effort just wide of Joseph Coll's right post.

From there on in it became Ibrahima Drame show as he took over with a stunning hat-trick.

The first arrived after seven mintues when Cedric Tchoutou galloped past United's makeshift left back Gyliano Van Velzan cross .

He then whipped in an inviting cross which found the head of Drame who nodded downwards past a helpless Coll in the United goal.

It was two on 22 minutes with Cedric once against the architect and Drame again the finisher.

The right winger picked up a fantastic crossfield ball from Innocent Shoja and provided a sliderule pass for the Aspire number nine to finish under the onrushing Coll with one touch.

Before the Red Devils could draw breath the hat-trick was completed three minutes later.

This time the ammunition came from the left flack with Shoja floating a corss which that man Drame met ahead of United's Tyler Blackett to power a header into the top corner.

United didn't test goalkeeper Dungong Francois until 49 minutes into the match when Mads Daehli curled a tame effort from the edge of the box.

However it was Aspire who would be next on the scoresheet to make it 4-0 and Drame was this time the provider.

His bustling run down the right flank allowed him to pull the ball black for Pape Badacar who had the easy job of tapping into the empty net.

United did grab a consolation on the hour mark when Tyler Blackett's free kick hit Jack Barmby on the back. 
The striker did well to control before flicking the ball over goalkeeper Francois.

However the boys from Qatar weren't finished there and competed the goalscoring with number 11 minutes before the end.

Substitue Samuel Darko's fierce effort deflected off Drame  with the ball falling into the path of Oumarou Kaina who made no mistake firing into the top corner from seven yards out to complete the rout.

South American boys Desportivo Brasil claimed third place in the Premier Section defeating last year's winners Etoile Lusitana 3-1 on penalties at the University.

Spurs, always a popular draw in the Milk Cup, were triumphant in the Globe final but also needed penalties to dispatch of Californian outfit South Coast Strikers.
