1st Ballyclare Boys Brigade have now been entering National Competitions for six years and have a decent record throughout that time. Two times Irish Champions, in Masterteam and Table Tennis. Four times runners up in Irish Masterteam Finals, qualifying for the UK final each time. Two times finalists in Junior 5 A Side football, one final appearance in Senior 5 a Side football. In the five UK finals 1st Ballyclare have contended in, against the best teams from England and Scotland, they have never finished better than fourth – until last weekend. Last weekend, on Saturday 19th April 2008, 1st Ballyclare became UK Masterteam Champions. The first company from Northern Ireland ever to achieve this accolade. The Masterteam competition is a team quiz. The team consists of four boys – Alistair Bell, Matthew Luney, Jonathan Moffit and Christopher Stevenson. Andrew Kelly was also part of the team but pulled out of the final due to school commitments. The quiz has ten rounds and the boys know what the rounds will be on in advance. They need to research and prepare for these rounds in order to be successful. |

They entertained the appreciative audience throughout the afternoon. For a number of boys not only was this the first time they entered the competition but was also the first time that they had performed in front of an audience. The boys selected their own piece of music lasting up to three minutes, which provided a varied and entertaining selection. |
