The final tournament for the boys' football team took place on Friday 15th May at Ballymena Showgrounds: the Coaching for Christ Cup. Many thanks to the brilliant coaches for hosting yet another excellent tournament.
Qualifying for the knock-out stage as group winners, the boys narrowly edged out a resilient Harryville team before meeting Gracehill in the final. Nothing separated the sides during the course of the match with chances at a premium, and it was in extra time, with the clock ticking towards penalties, that Gracehill found space in the box to score the decisive goal.
A huge well done to the team, who contested well on all fronts this year, securing the Senior Cup and finishing as runners-up in two further competitions.
