Our 3rd and 4th class hurling team travelled to Caurnaun on Tuesday 25th April to take part in the Parish School hurling blitz. We had a really enjoyable day out and the boys put in some fantastic displays. In our first game we were beaten with the last puck of the ball by Esker NS on a scoreline of 2-2 to 1-2. However, this did not tell the story of the game as we dominated for the vast majority of it but failed to make it count on the scoreboard. In our 2nd game of the day we faced Gaelscoil Eiscir Riada and prevailed on a scoreline of 4-2 to 1-2. The boys worked tremendously hard in this game and got their rewards with some really well worked scores.

This result meant we reached the final where we faced a very strong Lisheenkyle team. Lisheenkyle made a fast start and were 1-2 to no score up after some well taken scores. Our boys scored the next point and ensured that at half time we were still very much in the game with only 4pts between the sides. They continued to work very hard in the second half and scored 2goals to bring the game down to the wire. Unfortunately we just lost out by 4points in the end but the boys could be very proud of their never say die attitude.

A huge thank you to Leonard and all others involved in organising a very enjoyable day.

We welcomed author Alan Nolan to our school on Tuesday 25th April to give a talk and illustration demonstration to all our students. He read some extracts from his book The Sackville Street Caper. It was really enjoyable. Thanks to Miss Houlihan for organising this workshop, we really enjoyed it.
