Creah tells us all about Clonmore GAA's recent visit to our school with their recently won trophies.
On the 11th of October, Clonmore GFC came with the cups that they won over the past week. They brought in 5 cups and 1 shield which were Junior A and C, Division 3 league (senior), Minors, U15 and the Féile cup. It was good to see the past students and their achievements. There were around 20 past pupils from the teams. There were lots of people on the court congratulating them on their big achievements. All of the matches were either played in Dr Cullen Park or Netwatch Training Centre and the Junior A and C were both won on the same day. The Junior As went on to play their 1st round of the Leinsters and won against Grattan Óg of Longford and now are playing in the quarter-final.

4 th class have spent the year in St Mary’s Hall. They thought it a good idea to find out a little bit more about this important building in our parish and to share what they learned with their school mates.
