Amongst all the excitement of the Mid-Ulster derby on Saturday last, we mustn’t fail to acknowledge the fine achievement of our Academy Under 16 side who won the NIBFA National Youth League title and were presented with their winners medals and the trophy before the kick-off. Gary Hamilton joined up with the boys to congratulate them on their success.
