🏆 Champions in Catalonia! 🏆

10th Apr 2026

We are absolutely bursting with pride to share some incredible sporting news from one of our very own. A huge congratulations to Cáelán from Primary 7, who recently returned from an unforgettable footballing journey in Spain!

​Cáelán was selected to represent the Northern Ireland u11s squad, travelling to take part in the prestigious Barcelona Experience Soccer competition.

HistoricVictory

Competing against top-tier talent from across the globe is no small feat, but our local star rose to the challenge. After a series of thrilling matches and display of immense skill, teamwork and determination, the team emerged victorious, officially winning the Copa Tarragona!

A Moment of Magic

While the entire tournament was a showcase of talent, a particular highlight left the crowd—and his teammates—in awe. With nerves of steel Cáelán stepped up to take a spectacular free-kick, which he placed perfectly! 

Well done, Cáelán!  ⚽️💚🍀
