NI Business, Pentagon Solutions, is proud to announce its sponsorship with Antrim Grammar School for its Rugby Tour to South Africa.  

As the main sponsors, they have covered the costs of the team kits and made a large donation to the cost of the tour, ensuring that the Antrim Grammar Rugby Team can fully enjoy this incredible cultural exchange and represent their school on the global stage.

The Tour to South Africa

The Antrim Grammar School Rugby Team embarked on an exciting two-week tour from July 5th to July 19th. South Africa, renowned for its rich rugby heritage and competitive spirit, provided the perfect backdrop for this unforgettable journey.

During the tour, the team played challenging matches against local South African teams. However, this trip was about more than just the competition; it was about providing the players with an experience of a lifetime. The players had the opportunity to bond, build lasting memories, and develop skills that extend beyond the rugby field.

Trip Highlight

The Antrim Grammar School Rugby Team showcased exceptional skill and dedication by competing at the highest level in rugby-loving South Africa. A highlight of their tour was the 1st XV’s thrilling 10-7 victory, with an undefeated record of 3 wins out of 3 matches. This achievement is a testament to the team’s hard work and significant growth throughout the tour.

Mr Orr – Director of Rugby

“Getting the opportunity to play in the backyard of the Rugby World Champions will be an invaluable experience for our players. There will be no better preparations for the squad coming into the competitive season in 2024-25.”

Principal Mr Wilson

“The tour to South Africa is another significant moment in the history of the school, to celebrate how far we’ve come in terms of our rugby provision, but also to motivate us to continue and to believe in our own success. The benefits of touring are considerable, and I have no doubt that this tour will be remembered by all those who are involved for many years to come.”
