Gaelfast Year 8 Football Cup

Our Lady & St. Patrick’s Knock, St. Malachy’s Belfast, St. Joseph’s Belfast and St. Louis Ballymena contest a very enjoyable Gaelfast Year 8 Football Cup at the Ballymena College’s excellent all weather facility on Wednesday.

The action got off to a great start with Our Lady & St. Patrick’s taking on St. Malachy’s in the first quarter-final with St. Malachy’s coming back strongly in the second half but the Antrim Road side were edged out by a couple of points.

The standard of football from both sides was right out of the top drawer and the game could have gone either way.

In the second semi-final hosts St. Louis had too much fire power and strength for a battling St. Joseph’s who fought hard all the way but had no answer to a high scoring Kintullagh outfit.

And so it was on to the final where again St. Louis looked the team to beat and despite a big effort from Our Lady & St. Patrick’s it was the Ballymena College who claimed the spoils to go forward to next week’s final against St. Mary’s CBGS at Dunsilly.
