Under 18 football team
Congratulations to the Under 18 football team who have made it through to the final of the Ulster Schools’ Subsidiary Competition. They defeated Edmund Rice College 2-1 in a closely contested semi-final played at Moyola Park. Foyle trailed 1-0 with only a few minutes to go, but Jack McNeill (right of picture) managed to grab an equaliser to take the fixture to extra-time.
The winning goal came from a through ball from Alex McDonnell, with Sam Hughes (also pictured) rounding the keeper to score. The final is due to be played after Easter at Ballymena Showgrounds – further details to follow.
