Girls' Coaching 4 Christ Cup

1st May 2026

The girls’ football team took part in their first competition of the year – the Coaching for Christ Cup – on Friday 1st May at a very warm and sunny Ballymena Showgrounds.  This was a newly-formed team that had not played together before, though they very quickly gelled as a group and worked tirelessly for one another, recording a few excellent results along the way.  A huge well done to the girls, who reached the quarter-final stage before exiting the competition in a very tight penalty shoot-out.
