Lisneal college defeated Strabane Academy 2-0 on Thursday morning in the U12 Northern Ireland School Plate to secure a place in the last 16 round!
Lisneal dominated the game throughout both halves. Late into the second half the deadlock was broken whenever defender Ethan slipped the ball passed the keeper. Not long after, Lisneal secured the second to book their place in the next round after an excellent finish from Ollie!
A special mention to the man of the match Jake, who worked tirelessly throuhgout the game! Jake is pictured with his MOTM award!
Well done to all players
Open Night 2023
Last night, we had an amazing night at our first open night since the pandemic. The school was bursting at the seams with eager primary six and seven pupils, and their families, keen to hear about what our school has to offer!

U16 into Quarterfinals of NI Cup
Our Under-16 football team progressed into the Quarterfinals of the NI Cup today after a hard fought 2-0 victory over Rathmore Grammar School. Lisneal started strongly and looked threatening.
Gradually Rathmore settled into the game and started to assert a physical dominance which broke the rhythm of Lisneal’s football. At full-time the teams couldn’t be separated, meaning extra-time before a potential penalty shoot-out. With momentum swinging in our favour we grabbed the game scoring 2 quick goals to proceed with a 2-0 victory. Reece Schmid and Jack Curran got the goals but every player played a huge role, with some fine saves made by Aaron Buchanan at key moments.

Letisha – Cinderella 2022
We have been so proud of our year 8 pupil, Letisha, performing in the pantomime in the Millennium Forum as one of the dancers. 
Her form teacher, Miss Concannon, year head, Mrs Miller, and some pupils from Letisha’s form class even went in person to support her and loved watching her in the show. 
Well done Letisha!
