This afternoon I attended the funeral of Chris Woods, a young man who died as a result of a freak and tragic accident.
-
He had just turned 16 and had received a new set of golf clubs for his birthday, he and his brother set of for a round of golf just like many other folk do each day – sadly this was his last day alive. His brother Connor played a golf shot and the ball travelled a short distance and struck Chris on the head and he immediately collapsed. He was rushed to the Ulster hospital then onto the Royal Hospital for emergency surgery, sadly he passed away on Thursday 29th July 2010.

When Loughries Ulster Scots summer school stated 4 years ago Chris Woods was one of the first children to registrar – his Grandfather is a member of Loughries. He spent the week with us and thoroughly enjoyed his week learning about his tradition. A pupil of Regent House School and talented golfer & footballer, Craig was a wonderful boy and a great example to many of his age.

As the Leader of Loughries summer school I would like to offer my deepest sympathies to the Woods and extended Graham family, at this very sad and difficult time.
