St Patrick’s Rasharkin completed the football double adding the Fee MacGorman 7 a side boy’s football trophy to the indoor 5 a side won earlier this year.

At the annual Allianz Ireland South West cumann na mbunscoil blitz in Creggan the football on display was, like the weather outstanding. 

After a fiercely competitive morning of football the teams were split into a cup and a shield section.

In the shield a determined and skilful St Brigid’s Ballymena overcame hosts Creggan in an entertaining and enthralling game to see the school lift its first piece of boys football silverware in sometime.

In the Cup final Mount St Michael’s Randalstown and St Patrick’s Rasharkin produced a game of outstanding skill, quality and endeavour. It was nip and tuck the whole way, with the Rasharkin men prevailing at the end. Best wishes go to St Mary’s as they progress to represent the South West in the all county finals.

Well done once more to both teams.

In what was a memorable day for all and a big thanks must go to Kevin Small from Creggan PS for organising and to Gaelfast coaches and staff for making sure everything ran so smoothly.
