North Derry Primary School Football Championship Day

Today the North Derry Primary School Football Championships took place at an extremely warm Owenbeg. 340 young footballers took part in a very sporting day of football.

The 9 aside final was contested between St. Mary's Altinure and St. Canice Dungiven, the lads from Dungiven played wonderful stuff to come out victorious.

The 7 aside final was between St. Matthew's Drumsurn and St. John's Dernaflaw, the final was an excellent game with Drumsurn scoring 2-01 in the final 2 minutes to win by the slimiest of margins.

The 5 aside final was between St. Aidan's Magilligan and Ballyhacket Primary school. Again it was a excellent game of football but the Castlerock players just had too much legs in the final few minutes to win their first every primary school competition.

Credit must go to the teachers, school and club coaches for the extremely high technical ability on show. Well done to everyone involved and a special word of thanks to the young secondary school students who took time out of their study leave to help out with the refereeing.
