• Mid Ulster Spring Football Festival Champions

  Fri 07 Apr 2017

  On Friday 7th April 2017, Drumgor hosted the Mid Ulster Schools Spring Football Festival. The boys' group included King's Park, Edenderry, Armstrong, Donacloney and Fairhill Primary School. After three wins and two draws, the boys progressed to the quarter finals, coming second to King's Park. 

   

  They then faced Hart Memorial in the quarters, winning 3-0. Progressing to the semi-final, they once again met King's Park. This time the boys were outstanding and won  2-0. 

   

  The final saw Drumgor face Mullavilly. An evenly matched game with excellent goalkeeping and defending from both teams meant that, even after extra time, the game was goalless. Shared winners. 

   

  Thank you parents and relatives who came out to support the boys.

• Rugby blitz

  On Thursday 30th March the rugby team competed in the Shelbourne Rugby Blitz tournament at Chambers Park, home of Portadown Rugby Club. The boys won 2 matches and lost 2 matches. They impressed coaches and referees alike with strong running and hard tackling. Well done lads. 

  

• STEM Day

  Wed 29 Mar 2017

  On Wednesday 29 March, some of our P6 and 7s went to Armagh to compete in the K'Nex challenge. They had to design a bridge for their area, consider the design and make it as robust as possible.

  
  Well done Ben and Caleb, whose bridge was judged as joint second in the whole competition.

  On Friday 24th March, each class took part in our sponsored activity, 'Buddy's Big Workout' to raise money for the NSPCC. We were led by the instructors from Healthy Kids, through a tough but really fun exercise workout.

• Drumgor v Maralin

  Mon 06 Mar 2017
  The boys hockey team travelled to Lurgan Junior High to face Maralin PS for their first away game of the season. The team put on a excellent display of hockey, showed great skill and displayed a fantastic team effort. Maralin took the lead early but Drumgor were undeterred and continued to play attacking hockey. Their hard work was rewarded with a goal from Charlie Givans at the end of the first half. Both teams continued, equally matched in the second with GK Dean Wells being called upon to make many needed saves but unfortunately Maralin slipped the ball through a tight defence leaving the final score 2-1 to Maralin. The team will play in the Mid Ulster Qualifiers tournament on Wed 8th March 1-2pm at Brownlow and would love your support!

• World Book Day

  Tue 28 Feb 2017
  On Tuesday 28th February we celebrated World Book Day (as we were closed on 2 March for the elections). We had lots of wonderful characters turning up to school from a range of books. Each pupil got a £1.00 book voucher and we were also entertained by Billy and Kathleen from Antrim Folk Tales. We loved their poems, stories and jokes. Happy World Book Day. 

  

• Drumgor v King's Park

  Wed 22 Feb 2017
  On Wednesday 22nd February the boys hockey team played King's Park in their first league match of the year. The boys played some excellent hockey and built upon their experiences from their first cup game. Some superb skill and passing ensured King's Park were contained whilst our GK pulled off some brilliant saves. At the final whistle the score was 0-2 to King's Park. Next week the team will face Maralin at Lurgan Junior High.

  

• Boys Hockey

  Fri 10 Feb 2017
  The boys hockey team took part in their first match of the season against Hardy Memorial Primary school at Brownlow leisure centre on Friday 10th February. They faced tough opposition but worked well as a team to maintain possession of the ball and apply pressure when they could. Unfortunately the boys were beaten but have learned a lot that they can build on for their next match. A special thanks to Mrs Givans for driving and her support from the sidelines.
