EVO League Victory

15th Nov 2018

Congratulations to St Mary's A team on their third round victory of the EVO League 2018/19 today. After a draw in the first game against joint leaders Bridge Primary, St Mary's  went on to comfortably win their remaining games against St Mary's B, Dromore Primary School and St Malachy's Primary School. Abercorn A proved to be tough opponents in the semi-final with St Mary's progressing on the toss of a coin. In the final against Edenderry Primary School St Mary's dominated the game but struggled to score until a late winner from Lennon Bell. St Mary's are now 5 points clear at the top of the league. Well done to Adam McCann who received the Player of the tournament award, Lennon Bell and Pierce White and who all had an excellent tournament.

Our B team were unfortunately drawn into a very difficult group with St Mary's A, Bridge A, Dromore Primary and St Malachy's Primary schools. All teams which had reached the semi-finals previously. After a good start against St Malachy's, drawing a game they should have won, the boys were unluckily defeated 2-1 by Dromore, 2-0 by St Mary's A and 1-0 by Bridge. Well done to Jarlath McGinley who was nominated as Goalkeeper of the tournament, Jason Sands and Matthew Grimes who had an excellent tournament for the B Team.

Thank you to Sean Devlin for helping with the football and our appreciation to Paul Evans and EVO Skills for organising the tournament.
