Burrenreagh Boys in County Final!

We congratulate our footballers who reached the County Final of the Down GAA Cumann na mBunscoil 7 A Side competition. This was a tremendous achievement for our boys who trained all year long, undertook a daily run each day and played football every break and lunchtime throughout the year, regardless of the weather. Our older pupils (all girls and boys) are set to recommence their daily run in September with plans for lots more sport and coaching.

If You Can Dream It, You Can Achieve It.......

If you can dream it, you can achieve it. That is certainly true for Burrenreagh pupil Rian Walsh. Rian was recently invited by the IFA to take part in trials and as a result, is now part of the Northern Ireland Youth Development Squad in soccer. Well-done, Rian. What a tremendous achievement! Rian will also be joint-captain of our Gaelic Football team this season!
