Out of school sporting success

Under 12 county camogie champions with St Marys Camogie Club

Evan started kettlebells almost a year ago.  He trains three times a week.  He had a competition at the weekend in Port Laois and won this medal.  He will be competing in Feb again for the qualifiers for the All Ireland.  Best wishes to you with your chosen sport. 
​James has been attending Taekwondo now for a while.  He trains on Mondays and Wednesdays.  He will be preparing for the Irish cup which will be in February.  Well done James and best wishes. 

​Hard luck boys

Our super boys Rackard League team were so very unfortunate last Thursday as they were defeated by Fethard in the final.  To the players, we cannot thank you enough for providing us  with a super performance. We had massive support from the community and the school.   The buzz around our school over the past number of weeks has been electric.  It was said by so many that football was the winner on the night, and maybe so.

Done it again!!

  Our boys have 'done it again'!! Another amazing win under our belts!  The odds seemed to be against us, as we took on Kilrush in the semi final.  After a very tough and sporting game, we came out on top and beat them by 7 points.  We are now in the County Final this Thursday 10th October at 7.45pm in St Patricks Park Enniscorthy, where we will take on the mighty Fethard!  We are hoping that the whole school community will come along and get behind our boys in this historic event.  Get out the hats, flags, scarves and headbands and make your way to Enniscorthy on Thursday!!!  We wish the boys the very best of luck.  We are very proud of all of you!! Below is a nice picture of the full panel, along with teachers David Day and Anne-Marie Cullen, and mentors Trevor Rankin and Walter Rossiter (in hiding!!)

Thank you Mr David Codd for the stunning photographs.

​Athletics News

Below is a photo of our wonderful athletics team of 2015/2016 who travelled to Bree to compete in the Primary schools athletics competition.  A massive well done to all athletes, who were super.  Medals are extremely difficult to win as the competition is huge.  Many of our athletes made it into finals which is a great achievement.  Our relay teams especially ran very well, making it into two finals, boys under 12 and girls under 10.  Our medal came from Matthew Wickham who won bronze in the boys sprint.
