Integrated Rugby

Our year 8 rugby squad came third in the Integrated Colleges rugby blitz. The winners were the huge Drumragh Integrated College and second, Slemish Integrated College. It's a sore feeling to hand over the trophy we held last year, but it's great to see rugby so strong among the Integrated Colleges.

Great Golf News

Our golf squad won their heat against St Louis Grammar School by 5 games: 2. A great result. Good luck in the next match. Take some photos next time.

Year 8 Rugby Triumph

Year 8 played terrifically in their rugby blitz on Wednesday, playing four matches, winning four matches and conceding no tries at all. Very well done on qualifying for the finals next week.

Celebrating the New Posts

Today we celebrated the new rugby posts in the first full match on our pitch. We played Down High and lost 26:12, but scored two tries and a great conversion and are very pleased with our game. Upwards and onwards. Luc Bonnargent ran in the tries and Eamonn McAnulty converted, a real integrated effort.

Rain almost stopped play

Rain almost stopped play, our staff must be a daft as the students, and both matches went ahead in pouring rain. The men beat the boys 4-3, but even hijacking Orla and Amy couldn't save the women from the girls....perhaps happily, this blog didn't quite catch the result. A return match is threatened when summer comes. Well done all, and thanks to all the sponsors.

Netball draw

Year 9 netball girls drew against St Colmcille's, Crossgar. St Colmcilles is an excellent squad, and it was a match we will really learn from.

Sahara hero returns

Davy Ross of our technology department has returned in one piece after his run on the Sahara marathon. He has in the process raised a great deal of money for "Aware Defeat Depression", a very important charity, which provides mental health support for young people. He looks amazingly functional. You'll see him in the pictures when he delivers the big cheque.

Cross Country Silver

A fantastic result for Joanne Mills, who came away from the Irish Schools Cross Country Championships with the Silver medal. A draw for our rugby team who played an excellent game against Ballynahinch.

Rugby Tournament

Our successful year 10 rugby squad, who have already beated Down High School and Ballynahinch, met a stronger challenge when they played in this week's tournament with experienced rugby schools Lurgan and Banbridge Academy. We lost to Lurgan, but were very pleased to hold Banbridge Academy to a draw.
