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
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.

🏉 Pollock Cup Rugby 🏉
The U16’s played the last game of their regional league (Western) in the U16 High Schools’ Pollock Cup, knowing that a win would see them into the quarter finals.
They travelled to Stranorlar to face St. Columba’s College. Lisneal didn’t take long to shake off the bus journey with an early score in the corner. The day continued in the same fashion, and Lisneal displayed their quality. This resulted a 41-0 win seeing tries from Lewis L (x4), Harley (x2) and Rio getting himself a try. Jaydon Olphert converting 3.
Lisneal displayed excellent skills throughout, collectively. They are a team that keeps going from strength to strength and, most importantly, are enjoying playing the game of rugby. We eagerly anticipate the quarter final draw of the Pollock cup to see who we will face next.
