In recent years, Cricket has continued to be the dominant extracurricular sport, with the girls winning the U12, U15 and U19 school’s cups and the boys winning the U12, U13, U14 and U15 Schools cups since the establishment of Strabane Academy.

We have continued the schools’ traditions in Cricket outside school and had a great many pupils who have received representative honours in Cricket. Including Reece Kelly and Aaron Heywood who both have made their First Class debuts in the Cricket Ireland Inter Provincial Championship for the North West Warriors.  The number of boys and girls who have represented the North West junior warriors is well into double figures and currently Raymond Curry is flying the Strabane Academy flag in the Cricket Ireland Emerging players programme (U15).

Away from Cricket the achievements of Sommer Lecky have been well documented in both the regional and national media, the highlight of course being Sommer representing Northern Ireland in the Commonwealth Games in 2018.

On the Football pitch, 3 pupils have made their senior debuts in thwe Irish League and League of Ireland, Dylan King, (Oldham Athletic, Motherwell, Glenavon and Coleraine) Callum Moorehead (Institute) and Jamie Browne (Finn Harps) Not to be outdone by the boys we have two young ladies who have represented Northern Ireland at youth and full International level, Orlagh Falconer (U17) and Jessica Moorehead (full).

Boys Rugby continues to punch well above the school’s weight, with the 1^st XV now in its 5^th year re-emergence in the Danske Bank School’s Cup.  Following on from a successful Medallion Squad who reached the Trophy Final in 2015 the 1^st XV were narrowly defeated in the semi-final of this years’ School Trophy.

In Girls Hockey, Sarah Black and Catherine Mehaffey have both made their debut in senior ladies Hockey, with Priorians and Raphoe respectively.
