John Barratt Tournament
Holywood Primary were handed a tough group with Towerview who have also qualified for the next round of League games and Sullivan’s B team, we would also play Bloomfield Primary School in a rearranged league fixture.
Our first fixture and toughest within the group was against Towerview. It was a tight game with little goal mouth action but a battling performance and neat finish by Carter Wheelhouse secured a 1-0 victory and an important 3 points.
With no rest and a quick turnaround we were straight into action again against Sullivan Bs. The 10-0 victory in the game probably flattered our side slightly as Sullivan did create some chances which were cleverly dealt with by our goalkeeper Jake Thompson. An impressive hat-trick by Oliver Keown and a goal from Harry McK were the highlights in a result that would see us progress to the semi-final.
After a quick rest and water break we were on again to play a league fixture against Bloomfield Primary School. In a game that started at a fast pace we scored two early goals through Jamie Doggart and Carter Wheelhouse to give us a commanding lead. In the second half we added two more through Ryan Mealy and another from Jamie to secure a 4-0 victory which would see us into the next round of the league programme.
After watching the first semi-final it was then our turn to take the field against Bangor Central. Bangor managed to score an early goal and not long after we had one disallowed which may have changed the balance of the game but a late goal from Bangor ensured that they would move into the final to face Kilmaine.
We had one final game which was a playoff to determine 3rd place. We faced Millisle Primary School and after a long day we managed to dig deep to provide a 1-0 victory with a goal from Jamie Doggart that would see us finishing 3rd in the John Barratt football tournament 2017 after a fantastic day and performance from everyone involved.

P2 Trip to the Folk Museum
The Primary 2 children had a brilliant day at the Folk Museum. There were lots of people dressed up, who told us about how life was in Victorian times. The children got to explore the old houses and schools in the town and countryside. We looked at how people lived with no electricity or bathrooms, how they cooked and washed their clothes. It was a great day!
Marvellous Megan !
Megan in Mrs Donald's P1 class came to visit Mrs Crookshanks. Mrs Crookshanks was delighted to read all about Megan's trip to Streamvale Farm with her class. Mrs Crookshanks was very impressed with Megan's fantastic sentences, spellings and her beautiful handwriting too. Well done Megan!
