Cricket Fun!

The boys in 5th and 6th have been having lots of fun learning how to play cricket the past 4 Fridays.Cricket: They have been lucky enough to be trained by a professional Cricket coach for the past 4 weeks. They thoroughly enjoyed it and have proven to be quite talented at this sport. We are hoping to get some equipment from our coach Chris to continue this.

Gaelic Football

Gaeilc Football after-school-training has commenced for all interested students from 4th -6th Class. Training sessions will be held on Tuesday evenings in the GAA Field from 2:50pm-3:50pm, led by Miss McKeogh and Miss Scanlan. There was a great turnout on Tuesday last and we hope this will continue. Please remember to notify either Miss Scanlan or Miss McKeogh if you cannot attend a particular training session as a roll will be taken and this will then be taken into consideration when our Gaelic Football Blitz takes place.
