GAA v Clonard

Yesterday's GAA match against Clonad was an absolute nail biter and was the game of the season for our school team! When Meghan scored an unbelievable top corner goal with the last kick of the ball we were sure we had a victory at last...but unfortunately Clonard had a point to spare when the final whistle went. 

Top class scores came from many players on the pitch, including Ella Thompson, who only began playing this year! It goes to show how skilful players can become after a few weeks of training and practice. 

Player of the match was nearly impossible to decide. However, Adam Douglas gave 100% effort from start to finish. I lost track of how many interceptions he made during the game in the backs and he was involved in a lot of moves getting the ball down to our eager forwards. Well done Adam! 

St. Patrick's V Moylagh

The football team faced their toughest opponents to date...Moylagh! They were in the division above us last year and got to the semi-final, and they all were experienced 6th footballers who play with their club too. However, not once did our team give up! The work rate was huge and it was a great opportunity to put skills into practice. Tough games like today are better than any training session, and playing against stronger teams give us the chance to learn and to improve! Well done to all of the players. 

Player of the match today is Patrycja. She had a lot of work to do when she was in goals, and made some super saves. When she came outfield she got stuck in from the start and was involved in a lot of play bringing the ball up the field. Super work! 

GAA Match

Don't forget gear tomorrow if you're on the GAA team...especially GUM SHIELDS!!! 

Kick off is at 1pm in Trim GAA, and we will be back before home time.

Well done to the football team who played their first match of the season against Mulhussey NS. The improvement in the players since we began training is unbelievable! Here is the team modelling the new jerseys which Trim GAA kindly provided for us...

Great work by the cailíní today, who finished their season with a great win against Killyon! There was some amazing team work and the improvements since the start of the year are incredible! It's great to hear about girls joining club teams too...you'll be flying when we start back next year! Franziska, who scored an impressive goal, was our player of the match today. She often practices her football skills, and that really paid off today. The 6th class girls all got a special buladh bos for the leadership they have shown over the year, and for the encouragement and good example they set for the younger players.

The girls traveled to Cushenstown NS yesterday and played against a very experienced side. There were some fantastic team performances and plenty of improvements to be seen since we first began training. There were two players of the match this week, Holly and Patrycja. They both did plenty of running and calling for the ball, and got stuck in! Well done girls!

The boys played their last football game of the year yesterday against group leaders, Mulhussey. Congratulations to all of the players on taking part in our first year in the league competitions! Our player of the match was Conor, who did a huge amount of running and hard work throughout the match! He has recently started training with his local GAA club too! The only way to get better at football is to keep practicing, so it's a great idea to join your local team, especially to keep up the skills over summer! 

There have been fantastic improvements since we started training sessions on Tuesday. Well done to Ethan and Ben who were our most improved players! It's great to see confidence and skills improving throughout the weeks! Keep it up boys!

Thanks to our older and more experienced players, Matthew, Eoin and Ethan. They set a great example for the other boys, involved everyone in the games and were very encouraging. 

Maith sibh buachaillí!

Well done to our football teams this week. The girls took on the experienced Cortown NS and the boys played against Clonard school. There were some fantastic performances and team play in the two games, and plenty of hard work done! Well done to all players, especially Emily O' Donnell and Matthew Love. Emily has made HUGE improvements since she began training with us this year and showed great confidence in the game on Thursday. Matthew Love is an exceptional sportsman and leader on the pitch, as well making an effort to get all players involved in the game. Maith sibh!

GAA

Our two GAA teams were out this week. The boys played against Mulhussey NS and the girls were playing Kilbride. 

Mulhussey proved to be too strong for the buachaillí and the girls, although they  made a fantastic comeback in the second half, also lost out to an experienced Kilbride side.

Hard luck, but well done to all players involved, especially our players of the matches. This week Ethan Douglas made a huge effort for the boys and Mia Chambers set a fine example for the ladies football team.
