St Cecilia’s lift inaugural IFA Post Primary National Futsal Cup

Friday 18th of November 2016

The girls from St Cecilia’s College in Derry have won the Year 8/9 inaugural IFA Post Primary National Futsal Cup.

The tournament was held at the Lisburn LeisurePlex.

Overall, there were 204 teams in the 12 tournaments, which culminated in a very tense and exciting competition.

Futsal is the only version of five-a-aside football that is supported by FIFA and UEFA who organise World and European Championships for clubs and national teams every year.

It is played to touch times and all players are free to enter the penalty area and play the ball over head height.

As Futsal is predominantly played indoors it is also well suited to school facilities.

The winners were:


Year 8/9 Boys: Enniskillen Royal Grammar School

Year 10/11 Boys: Laurelhill Community College

Year 8/9 Girls: St Cecilia's College

Year 10/11 Girls: Parkhall College

Year 12 Girls: Mercy College
