This proved to be an excellent warm up for the 2ndXV who begin their Cup run next week away to a fancied Down High side. It was comforting, therefore, to see the forwards return the aggressive rucking so obviously missing on their last outing. Aggressive rucking and good line speed turned out to be decidingRead more
In wet, greasy conditions Enniskillen ground out a win in a very competitive game. There was nothing to separate the sides at half-time, with the score at 7 apiece. The Royal School had taken the lead after 10 minutes, when Stinson powered over from a ruck close to the line. Eddie Keys converted from wideRead more
Following a long journey North, the U13 side faced their most challenging match of the season against undefeated Coleraine Grammar.

Year I Left ERGS: 2018
A Level Subjects Studied:
Business Studies
Physical Education
Biology
After leaving ERGS in 2018, I began studying Business Management at Ulster University in Jordanstown while also working part-time at ‘The Midway Stores’ in Letterbreen.
I started university in 2018 and thoroughly enjoyed the experience - perhaps a little too much at times! However, like many people, my plans were interrupted in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Wanting to give back during such a difficult period, I spent a year working at the COVID Centre in Enniskillen. This role allowed me to develop valuable interpersonal skills including teamwork, empathy, communication, and swabbing!
The following year, I returned to my studies with renewed focus and graduated with an honours degree in Business Management.
For the past two years, I have been completing my accountancy exams and am proud to say that I am now fully qualified and no longer a trainee!
Alongside my academic and professional journey, rugby has remained a huge part of my life. I am a proud member of Enniskillen Rugby Club and recently played a key role as “pack leader” in helping the club achieve promotion to the All-Ireland League (AIL) for the first time in its history. I was also shortlisted for the club’s “Man of Steel” award for three consecutive years.
I strongly believe in giving back to the club that has given me so much, and I currently coach the Enniskillen Rugby Club Under-16 side.
I am very grateful to ERGS for helping develop both my passion for rugby and the academic foundations that have supported my career journey.
