Derry teenager Ben Wilson scored the goal last night which has secured a first ever appearance for County Londonderry in the Junior Super Cup NI final.

The local team beat Sheffield United 1-0 in the semi-final at the Coleraine Showgrounds.

Wilson (pictured celebrating after the game, photo by Press Eye) scored a beautiful goal from a tight angle in the second half.

Sheffield pressed hard for an equaliser but an heroic goal line clearance by Adam Taggart ensured County Londonderry progressed to the final at Ballymena this evening at 6pm.

They will play defending champions Right to Dream from Ghana, who beat Mexican side Chivas Guadalajara 2-1 in the other semi-final.

The Super Cup NI was previously known as the Milk Cup.
