This year's final was a closely contested debate against St Malachy's Belfast, with the motion 'This House would build, build, build.' The competition attracted numerous schools from across Northern Ireland throughout four qualifying rounds. Well done to all the boys involved, who demonstrated skill, dedication and determination, both in preparation and competition. A special thank you to Mrs Hempstead for her unwavering support and hard work in guiding our teams to success.
