City2City Cup Champions

Bangor Sportsplex, 15 February 2026 — Belfast City Inclusion (BCI) delivered a commanding display of attacking football to lift the City2City Cup with a resounding 9–2 victory over Bangor Rovers at Bangor Sportsplex.

From the opening whistle, BCI asserted territorial dominance and controlled possession with composure and purpose. Their high press and quick transitional play immediately unsettled Bangor Rovers, setting the tone for what would become a one-sided contest.

The standout performer on the day was Martin Finn, who produced a clinical four-goal haul. Demonstrating intelligent movement in the final third and ruthless finishing, Finn repeatedly found space behind the Bangor back line and capitalised with precision. His performance not only broke the resistance of the hosts but effectively put the contest beyond doubt before the final whistle.

Ciaran Connolly added a brace, showcasing sharp positioning and composure inside the penalty area, while Jim Mulvenna matched that tally with two well-taken strikes of his own. Brian Greene completed the scoring with a single goal, rounding off a comprehensive team performance that reflected BCI’s depth and attacking cohesion.

Despite Bangor Rovers managing two goals of their own, they struggled to cope with the tempo and intensity imposed by Belfast City Inclusion. BCI’s defensive structure remained organised throughout, limiting clear-cut opportunities and quickly regaining control whenever possession was lost.

Beyond the silverware, the occasion also carried a charitable dimension. Belfast City Inclusion used the event to raise £100 in support of the Ulster Hospital, reinforcing the club’s ongoing commitment to community engagement alongside sporting excellence.

Speaking after the match, members of the BCI camp praised the collective effort and highlighted the significance of lifting the City2City Cup in such emphatic fashion. The victory marks a memorable milestone for the squad and underscores the club’s continued progress both on and off the pitch.

With the City2City Cup secured and spirits high, Belfast City Inclusion can reflect on a performance defined by cohesion, clinical finishing, and a strong sense of purpose — a fitting showcase at Bangor Sportsplex on a decisive February afternoon.
