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!

Photos from Strabane Academy's post In the words of Pete Snodden, “It’s a wonder day!” ☀️
The sun shone beautifully for our annual Year 14 Leavers’ BBQ as we welcomed students and parents for an afternoon of great food, music, conversation and celebration.
Our Year 14 students were in great form, relaxed, enjoying the occasion, and sharing plenty of laughs as they reflected on their years at Strabane Academy and the memories they have made along the way.
A huge thank you to the team in The View for providing a delicious selection of salads and desserts, and to Mr Anderson, Mrs Dunn, Mr Haughey and Mr Gardener for braving the heat at the BBQ and keeping everyone well fed!
Special thanks also to Miss L Boyle (Head of Year) and Mrs McCay for their hard work in organising today’s event, as well as everyone else who contributed to making it such a memorable afternoon.
We wish all of our Year 14 students every success and happiness for the future. Thank you for the contribution you have made to school life, and remember, you will always be part of the Strabane Academy family.

Photos from Strabane Academy's post CELEBRATING PAST PUPIL SUCCESS 🤩
A huge congratulations to past pupil Ava on her outstanding achievements! 👏🎉
Ava has successfully completed her Diploma in Health Studies at NWRC and was recognised at the Best in Further and Higher Education Awards Ceremony, a fantastic accomplishment and thoroughly deserved recognition for all her hard work and dedication.
As if that wasn’t enough, Ava also became the face of NWRC, no bother to her! 😊
The next exciting chapter begins in September as Ava heads to Ulster University to study Adult Nursing. We have no doubt she will continue to excel and make a real difference in the lives of others.
Everyone at Strabane Academy wishes Ava every success and happiness for the future. We are incredibly proud of you! 🌟
