Today our Under-16 rugby team had the pleasure of hosting Lisneal College. Lisneal started strongly and only some excellent defensive work, including a try saving tackle from Ross E, prevented Lisneal taking the lead. Gradually our lads grew into the game and began to compete more aggressively at the breakdown, leading to a number of key turnovers. With momentum shifting in Strabane’s favour Andrew McG broke through Lisneal’s defence to open the scoring in the corner with Cameron McC adding the conversion.
As confidence grew Strabane started to play a more structured game and once again broke through the oppositions defensive line to score under the posts. As the first half drew to a close, and with a hat-trick in his sights, Andrew McG once again carried strongly to cross the line with Cameron again showing impressive kicking technique to add the 2-points.
Conditions made the second half a scrappy, error-strewn affair but Strabane continued to take their chances and added two more tries through Cameron McC and Harvey D.
It was great to see so many players contribute to an excellent contest but a notable mention must go to the turnover king, William McG, who was excellent all game. 72 Likes

🏆 SAVE Team Crowned Northern Ireland Community Impact Champions 🏆
We are incredibly proud of our amazing SAVE Team, who have been crowned winners of the JD Foundation Community Impact Award for Northern Ireland through their work with the King’s Trust — a truly prestigious and well-deserved achievement! 👏✨
Our pupils recently attended a special celebratory lunch at Hillsborough Castle, where they heard many inspiring stories about the power of community action and young people making a difference.
The team also had the fantastic opportunity to meet up-and-coming singer-songwriter Tiernan Heffron, along with well-known radio presenters Pete Snodden and Kirsty, making the day even more memorable. 🎶📻
It was an unforgettable experience and a proud moment for our school community. The dedication, compassion and leadership shown by our pupils truly embody the spirit of the King’s Trust.
Well done Adam D, Jayden, Harry, Sarah Jane, Miley, Adam C and Jensen your impact on the school and wider community continues to inspire us all!

Photos from Strabane Academy's post Year 8 got to participate in Lego Robotics workshops last week and will continue their practice this week. During the workshop, they got to work on their coding skills to make the robots move, spin and make sounds. A few 67’s were heard coming from the robots… They also programmed them to get them to follow a route on a map - there were some crashes! But they got there in the end. We look forward to seeing their progress in the next session. ✨

Your kindness is making a real difference.
