The final match in their section was against Seagoe. It was a hard fought game which ended in a 1-1 draw. Leah Heaney scored. The team finished top in their section!

In the semi–finals they played magnificently against Millington and came away with a 1-0 win. Leah Heaney scored.  Armstrong were their opponents in the final. The girls played with every last ounce of energy but Armstrong scored in the last 2 minutes.

The girls came away with silver medals and an opportunity to play in the NI finals to represent their district. An amazing performance by all the girls who played. Very well done!
