The football team put up another terrific display against the team from Clonard today. The improvement in skills is already showing, and we had some fabulous scores, tough defending and brilliant passages of play. 

Training Thursday and Friday.

 Our match next week is away to Mulhussey. Please let Ms. Keane know asap if you are available that day to give lifts to some of our players. 

Many thanks!

Well done to our football team who started the year with an excellent display today!

Kiltale came out as winners, but the children in 3rd-6th class played with fierce determination and brilliant skill. The defending was excellent and well done to Ella, Oscar and Adam on their fantastic scores too!
