The House Championship saw some outstanding performances with wins in the Corry Cup for Junior Rugby, Sholdis Cup for Basketball, and Junior Sports Day. Unfortunately, after two years of winning the House Championships we finished second by 1.5 points to Kelvin.
Larmor House pupil successes extended beyond the classroom, with pupils of all year groups collecting various co-curricular accolades. In Y14, Blake Mclean represented Ulster and Ireland Schools and was a member of the Schools’ Cup winning side; Adam Leckey represented Ulster and Ireland at cricket and was a member of the Schools’ Cup winning XI; Ethan Harris O’Neill competed at Irish representative level in Taekwondo. Y13 pupil Matthew McAreavey played hockey for Ulster and Ireland U18s, was selected for a 7-Nations international competition in Grenada, Spain and played in the Burney Cup winning side, while in rugby, Adam Boyd represented Ulster Schools and was a member of the Schools’ Cup winning 1st XV. In Y12, Tyler Gregg participated with the Northern Ireland Youth Assembly and was selected to attend Phase 1 of the Talent Draft for the GB Taekwondo team held in Manchester. Robbie McAreavey represented Ireland and Ulster at U16 level for Hockey and was a member of the Burney Cup winning XI. In rugby Cian McClean represented Ulster at U18 level, while Benjamin McCarten represented the U17 Schools XV and played in the Super Cup for County Down in football. Hugo Robinson represented the NCU U17 cricket squad. In Y11, Max Wilson was part of the RBAI table tennis team that won Silver in the Irish Championships.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Monteith and the tutors for their tireless dedication to the House and its pupils throughout the course of the year. Many of the successes highlighted above are down to the support they gave us. We hope all members of Larmor excel in the forthcoming year, be it on the sports field, the stage or in the examination hall.
