Congratulations to 5th and 6th class who took part in the FAI soccer Tournament recently in Corbally. Both teams played competitive matches and reached the semi-final round. Fun times were had by all, with a few minor injuries along the way!

Hurling training will take place with James Ryan for the last school term. Players can bring in their own helmet and hurley if they have one, if not they will be supplied by the school.

Well done to the boys and girls in 2nd and 3rd class who too part in the Indoor Hurling Blitz at Staker Wallace. It was a great experience for these young players, which they thoroughly enjoyed.
