It is semi-final time in the Ulster Vocational Schools U16. St Columbans return to their happy hunting grounds St Oliver Plunkett Park, Crossmacglen on Friday morning at 10.00am to try to secure their place in the Ulster Final. Tyrone champions St Joseph's Coalisland will provide a very stern test for the boys in green and black.

Coach Poacher has continued with his detailed preparations for match that many say will go to the wire. Whist going in as underdogs we are optimistic for a good result.

Good luck Patrick, Elliott and Conor.
