Enniskillen Royal Grammar School

House Champions for 2026 are BENAUGHLIN!

Through a consistently impressive display at both Sports Day and in the recent Inter House competitions, Benaughlin’s sporting prowess served them well, earning them a total this season of 3039 points. Credit must also be given to the sterling work of Belmore and Trein who both stayed in the fight earning 2950 and 2908 points respectively, only 48 points of difference! However, poor Cuilcagh must be consoled as last year's champions but this year's 4th place holders. Despite going into the final days of competition in the lead they lost it all through a poor performance at Sports Day ending their year with 2785 points.

This year has been a great year of competition with 6162 House points awarded through SIMS for excellent work, contribution to school community and 100% monthly attendance; the remaining 5520 points coming from extra-curricular competitions and events throughout the year, totalling 11,682 points. A huge thankyou for all those that have participated and the many staff who have facilitate competitions and events throughout.

Benaughlin’s win this year is a huge achievement as they last claimed the House Cup in in 2018.

Presentation to Women's Aid
Recently, we were delighted to present a cheque to Women’s Aid during Assembly, funded through the generous retiring collection from our Carol Service.
This was also a valuable opportunity for our pupils to learn more about the important work of Women’s Aid and the wide range of practical and therapeutic support they provide to women and families in our community.
We would like to thank everyone who contributed so generously and helped make this donation possible.

A fantastic day at CC for Sports Day 2026. Great levels of participation and a superb atmosphere as we all enjoyed the sunshine.

Results for the day are:
Benaughlin 🥇
Belmore & Trien joint 🥈
Cuilcagh🥉

Stay posted for tomorrow’s final House point calculations and this year’s House Cup winners.

Tennis Results

ERGS 2 – 4 Strathearn

Our junior girls were defeated 4-2 by Strathearn A in the final. The Strathearn team proved just a little too strong on the day. While some of the matches were closely contested, overall Strathearn were the stronger side this year.

The girls can be very proud of their efforts in reaching the final and represented the school with great determination and sportsmanship throughout the competition.

Well done, girls, on an excellent season, and congratulations to Strathearn on their victory. 🎾👏

An incredible day of inter-house competition held on Algeo Drive with year 8, 9 and 10 pupils competing in inter-house Rounders, Basketball, Netball, Football, Table-Tennis and Rowing. In total, 1760 house points were awarded throughout the day and added to the house point Totalometer ahead of tomorrow's Sports Day at Cooper Crescent.

Despite the number of points awarded, it still remains incredibly close in this year's competition.

Belmore - 2540 points
Benaughlin - 2538 points
Cuilcagh - 2549 points
Trien - 2448 points.

With only 11 points separating first and third place, tomorrow's ‘grand final’ of Sports Day promises to be an exciting competition, with all to play for in order to win this year’s House Cup.

A huge well done to all pupils who participated and a massive thank you to all those staff who organised and facilitated today's competitions.

ERBC's First Eights travelled to Cork Regatta yesterday and both the girls and the boys came away with the J18A 8+ category wins.

After a fantastic heat the girls crew of Claire Walsh, Isabella Wright, Naomi Robinson, Clodagh Donaghy, Zara Welsh, Emily Black, Meabh Murphy, Hannah Armstrong and cox Jessica Thompson were the only J18 eight to make the A final beating crews from University College Dublin, University of Limerick and University of Galway.
In the final they covered the 2km course in a time of 7.29.9 to take 1st place in the J18 category and 3rd overall in the Division 1 Eights.

The boys crew of Evan Donaghy, Ryan Topping, Christian Timoney, Andrew Cuthbertson, Luke Bailey, Andries Ferreira, Cillian Donaghy, Austin Cassidy and cox Abbey Wilson won the J18 category over the crews from St Joseph's, Neptune RC, St Michael's RC and Col Iognaid. They finished in a time of 6.34.3.
Thanks to the coaches and parents who travelled to Cork with the rowers.

Both crews head to Henley this Thursday having prequalified to compete at Henley Royal Regatta which starts on Tuesday, 30th June.

Mr.Holland

👏 Congratulations to our Year 8 pupils! 👏
Congratulations to 49 Year 8 pupils from all Tutor groups who were awarded for 100% attendance in our recent Attendance Challenge. Today the pupils were acknowledged in a special assembly with Miss Brady.
These pupils were recognised for their commitment and dedication throughout the challenge. An excellent achievement showing the importance of developing good attendance habits. Well done! 🌟

We will all be rooting for Year 12 pupil Annabelle McKenzie this weekend as she represents Ulster at the Tailteann Schools Weekend Athletics Meet, hosted by Irish Athletics. This is a fantastic achievement, and we look forward to hearing how she gets on in her event, the 1500m steeplechase.

Good luck, Annabelle – we will all be cheering you on!
