£500,000 boost for local sport in NI

Three schools in Northern Ireland are set to benefit from £500,000 of Sport NI funding through the Your School Your Club initiative.

Lismore College in Craigavon, Holy Trinity College in Cookstown and Wallace High School in Lisburn will receive funding to improve their facilities, which will also be available for local clubs and community groups, increasing opportunities for local people to participate in sport.

Both Lismore & Holy Trinity College will invest in new floodlights ensuring that their pitches can be used in the evenings by local sports teams and community groups.

Wallace High School will enhance their indoor and outdoor cricket facilities which will also be used by local cricket clubs.
