Ports' Ferris nets hat-trick for Northern Ireland
The teenager was on target for the under 18s against Guernsey under 21s on Tuesday then followed up that performance with a treble in the final fixture of the mini-tour.
Ferris - fresh from the 8-2 defeat of Jersey - will now join Portadown thirds’ squad for a weekend visit to take on Lurgan Town in the Mid-Ulster Youth Cup quarter-finals.

“It has been a brilliant experience and great to get a goal on my first appearance,” said Ferris following the first fixture of a tour which also included Ross Redman as part of the Northern Ireland Schools’ FA party. “Working with the coaching staff at Portadown has helped me get to this stage.”
