Lisburn Primary Schools Under 11 Cup Final

A huge congratulations to the football team for their tremendous effort and determination in the final of the Under 11 Cup against Pond Park PS.

After a slow start, we found ourselves 2-0 down. This however did not deter the boys and they started to play with belief. A super low strike from Jamie brought it back to 2-1 at the end of the first half.

We started the second half brightly and put them under some pressure. This resulted in another terrific shot from Jamie, which was parried by their goalkeeper, only for Aaron to coolly chip it over their sprawling goalkeeper to make it 2-2.

With the score level at full time, we entered extra time. Pond Park played well and scored another goal to edge them in front. As we entered the final minute of play, we were awarded a penalty. Aaron walked up and superbly found the back of the net, bringing the scores level.

The final whistle blew and both teams were declared joint winners. A fantastic achievement to retain the Under 11 Cup which we won last year.

Many thanks again to all the travelling support and to Mrs. Beattie for assisting with transport, encouragement and tactics throughout the match!

Huge congratulations to our Festival Singers who WON their category at Portadown Festival. They also received the highest mark of all the choirs in all categories and will be receiving an extra cup. The judges commented that for such a big choir (90) they showed 'excellent togetherness and discipline' as well as making a beautiful sound. We are all incredibly proud of you- well done!

Congratulations to the football team for their success in the Under 11 Cup today.

We defeated Finaghy PS 5-0 in the First Round, followed by a very hard fought victory against Tonagh PS in the Quarter Finals.  

The match ended 2-2 and after 8 penalties we advanced to the Semi Finals were we defeated Killowen PS 3-0.

We will be playing Pond Park PS in the final on 30th March.

Many thanks to Mrs. Meadows and Mrs. Beattie for transporting the team and their fantastic tactics and support!!

We awoke to another wonderful morning and after an energy boost headed to Bloody Bridge for our bouldering activity. The children demonstrated great balance with only a few slips. We finished with a high jump into the icy water which proved very refreshing!!!

After lunch we canoed on a very calm Castlewellan Lake.  We 'paddled' down the lake and landed on an deserted island which we claimed for Moira Primary!!

Tonight was the most exciting activity of all - 'Who owes this piece of clothing?' This will be followed with our last night of sleep!!

See you all tomorrow!!!!

After 'some sleep' we refuelled with a tasty breakfast and got ready for our morning activities.

Three groups stayed at the centre and battled our fear of heights on the climbing wall and high ropes course.  Everyone participated to the best of their ablility, with many overcoming a fear for heights......including Miss Wallace!!

The other two groups headed into the mountains and were treated to some beautiful scenery as they ascended to the summit. Hot drinks and a biscuit were enjoyed at the top. 

The activities were were reversed for the afternoon activities. 

This evening we participated in centre orienteering, quizzes and archery.... Robin Hood beware!!!!

We live in hope for additional sleep tonight!!!

After a relaxing journey to Ardnabannon, we had a delicious lunch and headed to Tollymore Forest Park for our Adventure Walk.

This consisted of walking up rivers, crawling through tunnels and walking under icy cold waterfalls.  We even added in a free mud bath for some!!!

We had a lovely chicken curry with rice and chips and boarded the bus to Coco's Indoor Playground.

This we hope will tire them out....
