This year’s girls’ schools’ senior cup final pitted Holy Cross (Strabane) against St. Louise’s (Belfast).
St Louise’s started brighter and had a goal ruled out for offside on 15 minutes and hit the post on 22 minutes.
The Belfast school finally got their breakthrough on 30 minutes through a long-range strike from Cara Mervyn.
Holy Cross equalised on 35 minutes after a well-worked short corner saw Teegan Lynch round a defender and slot home.
The Strabane school then went ahead on 39 minutes through a header from Laura McCurdy.
Holy Cross managed the second half well and were rewarded with a third goal on 78 minutes when Teegan Lynch’s freekick fell to Billy Jay McMenamin, who slotted home from inside the box.
The 3-1 win secured a fifth successive senior cup victory for Holy Cross.
