“Three years in a row - it is really hard to believe,” Mrs Anne Scott said. “I can’t believe where the last 12 months have gone and it is just super to be in the final again.

“It was a hard journey and none of the matches were easily won so it makes it all the more worthwhile and exciting too. Next Monday there will be about 25 buses or more travelling from Maghera.

“There is a lot to fight for - it doesn’t matter that we won last year - the fact that you are there means you are there to win.

“There is great support in the town itself and even beyond that through the past pupils and we know that we will have great support on the day. We know we have great sponsorship from local businesses and we know that on the day everyone will be out in support of us.”
