Famous Find Out

The score was 14:0 to Shimna against Antrim Grammar School.

Win over Antrim Grammar

Our Medallion side beat Antrim Grammar School ?:0 (We scored two tries and two conversions, but I am a rugby ignoramus and don't know what that adds up to.) A famous victory when I find out!

Outstanding Achievement Award

I've just been checking the blog archive, and I don't know how I managed it, but I seem not to have blogged the excellent news that on 21st November Stephen Gordon and James McCormick were presented with their Outstanding Achievement Awards for their contribution to the development of our senior rugby squad. The Award is a real tribute to the two boys and to the squad, and we are delighted for them.

Show Jumping Success

I have just received a lovely email from Alex McCully from New-Bridge Integrated College to let me know about Victoria Farr's great contribution to the showjumping team. It is always hard for one school to field a team for all the showjumping events, and Alex works with Hunterhouse School as well as New-Bridge. However, she has emailed to say that the teams could not have managed without Victoria's contribution and willingness to pitch in at short notice. Well done. I was very pleased that Alex took the trouble to let me know what a good student we have.

Dalriada Medallion Match

Our Medallion team put up an excellent show against a great team from Dalriada in Ballymoney, eventually losing out. Both teams played a very sporting match, and the Dalriada team enjoyed their sausage rolls and soup to warm them up on a freezing afternoon. Well played all. Joseph O'Hara, Anthony McMullan and Daniel Stanfield got a special mention in despatches.
