FAI Regional Primary 5’s Final

Congratulations to our Senior Girls Soccer team on their magnificent performance on Monday 22nd April. Having qualified from the local competition the girls were in the regional final in Independant Park yesterday where they were runners up, making it all the way to the final and were leading up to the last moments of the game. Unfortunately the opposition equalised & gained the advantage in extra time. We are extremely proud of our girls who played with such determination, passion and of course skill. 

Thank you girls for being a credit to your school and giving us a fantastic day out in the sunshine.  A huge thank you to Mr. O’Donovan for giving of his time to organise & coach throughout the competition.
