Victory sends Loreto into Northern Ireland Finals

The Senior Netball team from Loreto College Coleraine scored a brilliant victory in the North Eastern Education and Library Board Netball final on Monday 4 February.

Loreto College faced Magherafelt High School in the NEELB final, which was played at the Antrim Forum. Magherafelt had previously defeated Loreto 23-18, earlier in the season, and the match was hard-fought and nerve-wracking right until the end. Loreto won by a margin of just one goal; a goal which was scored by Nicole O’Neill in the final seconds of extra time.

The Loreto team is now through to the Northern Ireland finals – a huge achievement for this dedicated, determined and enthusiastic group, captained by Year 14 student Cristin O’Kane.
