WALLACE High School Year 11 pupil Ryan Getty received the Mary Peters Award for badminton recently at an awards ceremony in Ravenhill.

Ryan is travelling to the prestigious Olve Junior Badminton tournament in Belgium over the Easter weekend, where 350 competitors from 19 different countries will be competing.

Following Belgium, Ryan travels to Nottingham with the Ulster U17 team for the Inter-counties tournament and then onto Glasgow for the Home International Quadrangular with Ireland’s U15 team. His season then ends with the UK School Games in London in early May.

“It’s a tough end to the season but a challenge that I am looking forward to,” said Ryan. “The Mary Peters Trust has been great financially and incredibly supportive to all athletes.”
