Holy Trinity, Cookstown will bid to win only their second ever Ulster U16 Arthurs Cup Vocational schools title when they cross swords with Donegal champions, Carrick at Healy Park on Thursday afternoon, 1.30pm, writes Kevin Kelly.
The Cookstown school last lifted the title back in 1998 and they will go into the decider as slight favourites to repeat that success
In the quarter-final they accounted for Virginia College, Cavan before a landslide victory over St.Pauls, Lurgan i
n the semi-final.
The side is managed by Errigal Ciaran duo Adrian O'Donnell - right and Peter Canavan - left, and they will look for big performances from Ciaran Blake, Oisin Maguire and Matthew Hughes in defence, Conor McAleer and Kieran McGeary in midfield and Conan Campbell, Barry Potter and Cathal Devlin up front.
Carrick impressively beat St. Columbans, Kilkeel in the semi-final and include Eoin McHugh and Ryan McHugh, sons of Donegal legends James and Martin.
But their key player, without a doubt, is midfielder Patrick McBrearty and if Holy Trinity can nullify his threat then they will be well on their way to the title.
In the U18 Markey Cup the semi-finals are pencilled in for the beginning of next week and hopes are high that it will be an all-Tyrone decider, although the odds are stacked against that being the case with both sides being underdogs.
St.Patricks College, Dungannon meet Ballybay while Holy Trinity, Cookstown come up against a St.Malachys, Castlewellan side who have won the past two All-Ireland titles at this level.
