Success At The Inspiresport Festival Day

The proceedings started at 11.30am and continued until late afternoon when in the last game Edmund Rice College overcame Methodist College 6-5 in a thrilling penalty shoootout after the game was tied at 1-1 after extra time.  

Competition Organiser Edwin Ferris stated;

"School teams from every part of the province came together for what was an enjoyable experience for all.  With 21 matches in 8 different competitions there were 42 teams and over 600 players involved.  

“The NISFA is grateful to Belfast City Council for granting the use of Mallusk for this event.  We are also indebted to Inspiresport who are sponsoring the competitions this season. 

“Inspiresport has long been involved in the organisation of school sporting trips in England, Scotland and Wales, and we are delighted that they have now brought their expertise to Northern Ireland.  

“Without the financial support provided by Inspiresport it was not feasible to stage such a massive undertaking".
