Pádraig Pearse Cup 2021
Dublin claim the 2021 Padraig Pearse Cup.
On Wednesday a football match between two teams from within the sixth class bubble took place.
The teams, Dublin (coached by Mr Franklin) and Galway (coached by Mr Fitzgerald), had been picked some weeks previous and had been training during lunch time ahead of the game.
The onlooking support from the other classes in the school were treated to a lively encounter, full of skill and enthusiasm. Dublin built on a half time lead to stretch ahead by 8 points in the second half. However, some quickfire goals from Galway brought the deficit back to one point with around a minute to go. Dublin held their nerve and landed a late point to secure a two point win.
Afterwards, Mrs Heelan presented the Pádraig Pearse Cup to the Dublin captain.
