🏉 What an Experience! 🏉

20th May 2025

Today was a truly unforgettable day for our rugby team as they took part in the Rugby Festival at Ravenhill, the iconic home of Ulster Rugby! 🏟️

Our pupils played three exciting matches against schools from across Northern Ireland, enjoyed a behind-the-scenes stadium tour, met the legendary mascot Sparky, and even had the thrill of running out of the tunnel onto the pitch — just like the professionals! 🙌🔥

A massive thank you to everyone at Ulster Rugby for making this such a special and inspiring day for our children. Your hospitality and enthusiasm created memories that will last a lifetime. 💛🖤

Huge thanks also to Mr Millington and Miss Dallas for accompanying the team, and a very special mention to Dean Talbot for his fantastic work in raising the profile of rugby at Orritor Primary School. 🏉👏

Our P6 and P7 pupils have absolutely loved their Monday morning sessions — come rain, hail, or shine, they’re always ready to learn, grow, and enjoy the game with Dean’s expert guidance. 🌧️☀️

We are so proud of our young players — what a day, what a team, what an experience! 💪💙
