Huge congratulations to Casi and the Sperrin Gaels U14 Division 3 team on completing the double last night by winning the Championship, having already secured the League title a few weeks ago!
An incredible achievement for Casi, who has now won both the League and Championship titles for two consecutive years. The hard work, dedication, and countless hours of training have certainly paid off, with the team finishing the season undefeated.
A fantastic accomplishment and a season to remember. Well done, Casi and all at Sperrin Gaels! 🏆🏆💚💛

Photos from Strabane Academy's post 🏆 STRABANE ACADEMY ARE THE U15 SCHOOLS’ CUP WINNERS 2026! 🏆
Strabane Academy’s U15 cricket team continue hot streak in the heat wave!
Strabane Academy’s U15 team completed the clean sweep, by adding the Shirlow Cup, to their legacy of Derriaghy (u14) Slemish (u13) and Centenary (u12) cups with a comprehensive victory over local rivals Lisneal College at Beechgrove. The ground, looking resplendent, was an idyllic setting for a final, with Lisneal making the most of the close proximity as they descended on the Limavady Road venue.
Winning the toss Lisneal Captain L. Pearson appeared to have no hesitation in taking first use of the wicket. An outstanding opening spell from Boyd and particularly Strabane skipper McGerrigle, who bowled 3 consecutive maidens, combined with some tight ground fielding put the squeeze on Lisneal. Before a solid 3rd wicket partnership between Wasson and Pearson, who added some final over pyrotechnics gave Lisneal a target to bowl at.
The left arm spin twins, Heywood and Moan bowled with guile and control keeping the Lisneal run rate below 5 an over in their 117/3 total.
Despite a few chances being missed, Strabane Academy certainly would have been the happier of the two teams at the half way stage.
The run chase was almost perfect with the openers Moan (42) and Britton (59*) sharing a controlled, classical century partnership (110). The pair combined sublime stroke play, with devastating drives, pulsating pulls, as any loose bowling was dispatched to the rope. Lisneal to their credit, fought to the end and were rewarded with the wicket of Moan who was caught smartly as he searched for a big finish. With only 8 required it was almost fitting that the dynamic Donemana duo of Britton and McGerrigle were in the middle at the end. The visiting Strabane fans, out numbered for most of the day, were able to soak up the sun and celebrations as a magnanimous McGerrigle received the trophy.
Next for this side is a trip to Cheshire to represent Cricket Ireland in the Knight-Stokes Trophy… given their credentials you would be brave to bet against them!
