A stunning comeback stolen in the last minute of the game. Following two tough weekend defeats against Wallace and Coleraine, the confidence of the ERGS Medallions had taken a significant knock and this weekend’s away game against Portadown was set to be a test of their resilience and determination as they approach the last monthRead more

Departing Coach, Rhys Botha, asked for a special effort from his team this week. ERGS lost only one match outside their Cup run last season and that was by a single point to Coleraine away, so Botha wanted the balance to be redressed this season. Coleraine, who have a similar ranking to ERGS so farRead more
Final score: 7-10 The first game after half term, against Coleraine, had been marked in red as somewhat of a D-Day for the ERGS U14 squad, as it represented stage 2 of their season and what was expected to be a step up in terms of opposition quality. As the boys made their way onRead more
The sixth game of what has been a tough season so far, saw a rematch against Foyle at Home. The Medallion 15 took to the pitch determined to finally put the hard work of training into practise and earn themselves the long sought after victory that they needed. The ERGS side chose to receive theRead more
Played in light drizzle in Dungannon, this game was unlikely to match Leinster’s performance on Friday night for excitement but Enniskillen ground out a well deserved victory and provided a little entertainment at the same time. For the first few minutes, Dungannon’s capable full back kept ERGS inside their 22m line with accurate kicking untilRead more
As the Medallion 15 took to the field on Saturday they were determined to improve on the previous week’s performance and utilise the improvements sustained during the week’s training. Defensive structure and tackling showed major improvement as Rainey were forced to work hard to find holes and frequently made errors in their handling due toRead more
Rainey Endowed School recorded a hard earned, but well-deserved 15-7 victory against Enniskillen Royal Grammar School. In a closely contested game the Enniskillen Royal Grammar School team took a 7-0 lead when Robbie Mills touched down for a try which Eddie Keys converted. Close to the end of the first half the Rainey Endowed SchoolRead more
As Bloomfield side-stepped 2 tackles and dived over the line from a rapid McConkey tap and go penalty move, it looked very promising for the ERGS Medallions in their first home game of the season. Momentum seemed high and the boys seemed up for the game. But soon after the Banbridge 13 began to assertRead more
Rumour had it that Armagh Royal had two goals this season, to get to the Ulster Schools Cup Semi-Finals, and to beat Enniskillen Royal for the first time in four seasons. Considering that Armagh were finalists in the Schools Cup only 6 months ago you begin to appreciate the level of competition between these twoRead more
Another tough day at the office for the Medallion 15. With only 14 players available due to injury a big thank you and congratulations to Alekzander Bargrev on his debut game for ERGS in the pack. A well drilled Armagh side played some excellently executed rugby, challenging the ERGS defence and on a number ofRead more

I left ERGS in 2020 during the start of COVID - crazy times.
I studied Biology, Chemistry and Business Studies at A’ Level.
After ERGS, I joined Queen’s University Belfast to pursue a degree in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology. Between my second and third year, I undertook a placement year working as a Pharmaceutical Analyst for Almac in Craigavon. I finished my degree with First Class Honours and received two awards sponsored by the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry for Best Research Project and Overall Distinction in Final Year Studies.
After finishing my degree, I applied for - and was awarded - a scholarship funded by the Department for the Economy to pursue a full-time research-based PhD. I started in 2024 and my project focuses on breast cancer research.
Outside of academia, I have supported my sister in growing her business, Enniskinn, which opened its second store in Enniskillen last week. We manufacture all of our products in Enniskillen and now have over 100 wholesalers across the world, mainly across the UK and Ireland. My Business Studies A’ Level with Mrs Donnelly has definitely been useful at times!
When I have the time, I enjoy sailing, with my most ambitious trip so far being an English Channel crossing from Southampton to La Rochelle in France. I obtained a Day Skipper licence for yachts up to 80ft and I’m hoping to complete a transatlantic crossing in the next few years. If I wasn’t any good at science, I would most definitely be a sailor!
