• Kingspan Festival

  Fri 11 May 2018

  The rugby team travelled to Belfast yesterday to participate in the Kingspan Festival. To say the boys (and the coach) were excited would be an understatement! On arriving, you could feel the excitement building and the team could not wait to run out onto the pitch. We began the festival with a tough game against Friends, winning 8 - 6. Our next opponent was Gaelscoil, another hard fought victory (5 - 2). The final match was against Templepatrick, which we narrowly lost 4 -3.

  The boys played with great passion and determination. They came off the pitch proud of their efforts and most of all with the unforgettable experience of playing at the Kingspan Stadium (home of Ulster Rugby).

  Highlight of the day for the team was meeting some of the Ulster team including crowd favourite Tommy Bowe.
