Cricket – The Yr 8 boys cricket team took on Royal School Armagh Friday 17th May on the hallowed turf of the LS cricket pitch. After winning the toss captain Ben Foster decided ERGS would bat first and the team reached 55 for 8 after the allotted 16 overs. In reply Armagh also reached 55 for 3 with the help of a few wide deliveries from the ERGS bowling attack. Match tied but unfortunately Armagh proceed to the next round due to fewer wickets lost.
