Sport Lisburn & Castlereagh Celebrates Sporting Excellence

Footballer Cecil Floyd was March’s winner. On 28th March, Cecil captained the Transplant Sport NI Football Team at the Tri-Nations Football Tournament in Dublin. The event was hosted by Transplant Team Ireland and featured Scotland Transplant Active Football Team. The matches were played in sunny but breezy conditions. Under Cecil’s leadership, Transplant Sport NI defeated Transplant Team Ireland 2-0. They then narrowly lost 2-1 to Scotland Transplant Active Football Team in a closely contested match.

April’s winner was bowler Raymond Stubbs. Raymond recently celebrated a major milestone after receiving his 100th cap at the British Isles Championship. Although achieved in November 2025, the presentation took place in March this year. Adding to his success, Raymond was also crowned outright winner of the I.I.B.A. National Triples Competition for the fifth time in April 2026. These two incredible achievements, within such a short period of time, mark a moment in history. No other short mat bowler from Lisburn has achieved this level of success, with colleagues and competitors from Lisburn Zone Bowling Club and the Lisburn Bowling League all extremely proud of his achievements.
