The boys Under 13 team suffered a 1-point defeat v Kildimo (away) this week. The game could have gone either way - in fact, when the referee blew the whistle for full time, both teams thought they had won! The result means that both teams enter a 3-way play off (with Scoil JFK) for the 2 available semi final slots. The girls football team, managed by Mr. Linnane, had a very enjoyable match v Gaelscoil an Raithín. Gaelscoil were the winners on this occasion but the most important thing is that it was a close, sporting game - and everybody tried their best. On Thursday, the Under 11 footballers travelled to Ballybrown for their first game of the year, both teams turned on the style to produce a very enjoyable exhibition match. A return match in Patrickswell will take place in the coming weeks.
On Saturday, Mr O'Connor took a 6th Class hurling team to Ard Scoil Rís for the annual ASR Hurling Academy Tournament. After the preliminary rounds (in which the boys held Clonlara N.S. - winners of the tournament for the past 2 years - to an honourable draw), the lads missed out on progressing to the knock-out stages on nothing more than scoring difference! Mr O'Connor was delighted with the spirit shown by the lads. He is confident that they will be very competitive in all the Cumann na mBunscol hurling competitions (mini-7s, Olo Cup etc.) coming up after Christmas.
