GAA

1st,2nd and 3rd classes enjoyed 4 weeks of coaching thanks to Ballinrobe GAA and LGFA clubs. We played lots of fun games to improve our ball skills. Thanks to all the coaches and transition year students Niamh and Laura.

5th and 6th class were invited to a fun GAA blitz in the Connacht Centre of Excellence in February. The children really enjoyed mixing with the girls and boys from all different schools and playing in non competitive games. Thanks to GPO Denise Fahy for organising the event and giving the children an opportunity to play in this great venue.

Basketball

In March the children in 5th and 6th classes were invited to play in a local basketball blitz in the Lakeside. Our boys team amalgamated with Partry NS and got all the way to the final!

Soccer

We entered 2 teams in the FAI 5’s soccer competition again this year. Our girls team had some great wins over Tourmakeady, Roundfort and Gortskehy to reach the final. Unfortunately they were narrowly beaten in the final by Robeen NS. Well done to all who participated πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ».
