U12 Boys' Northern Ireland Schools' Cup

On Friday 9 October, Omagh High School's Year 8 football team travelled to Dromore High School to play in the first round of the U12 Boys' Northern Ireland Schools' Cup. Dromore got off to a strong start, creating a few chances, but it was Omagh High who took the lead through a well-taken goal from Josh L. Both teams then settled into the game, and Dromore were rewarded with an equaliser just before half-time. In the second half, both teams once again traded chances, and it was Dromore who took the lead to make it 2-1 in their favour. However, OHS kept battling and brought the score level with a second goal from Joshua B. It looked as though the game was heading for extra time, but with the last kick of the match, Theo Mc struck a long-range free-kick high over the Dromore goalkeeper's head to win the game for Omagh High and send the team through to the next round of the cup. Well done, boys, and thank you to Dromore High School for an enjoyable and competitive game.
