Well done to our two representatives who played for the South Limerick team in the Mackey Cup semi-final on Tuesday. The South were defeated by the West. It’s a great achievement to make a South panel and the boys should be very proud of themselves.
Well done also to our own Mr English who was part of the management of the team.
Both teams had wins over Hospital NS and Knocklong NS in their groups.
Many thanks to Danny Keogh who has been coaching in the school for the last month and who organised today’s blitz.
The boys and girls got great exercise and were able to practise some of the skills associated with the game.
Many thanks to Johnny who facilitated the school’s visit.
Hospital Handball Club have training for juvenile players on Sundays from 2:30-4:30pm and are always happy to welcome new players if anyone is interested in trying the sport out.
We had boys and girls teams representing the school at the Olympic Handball Limerick Finals in Croom on Wednesday. Well done to our boys who played in some terrific games and finished in third place.
Our girls were crowned county champions after winning all their games and they will now go forward to represent Limerick at the National Olympic Handball Finals in either April or May.
Pupils from 1st to 6th have started soccer with FAI coach. Jason will be coming to the school for a number of weeks and it is great to have the support, especially as we are in the process of renewing our Active School Flag.
It is always a nice experience for the boys and girls and a great way to support our efforts to renew our Active School Flag status.
Each of the sixth players did very well in what was their first game of handball outside of PE lessons in school. Three of the players were medal winners as the school collected a silver medal in the Roinn B girls division and bronze and silver medals in the Roinn B boys division.
All sixth were excellent representatives for the school at the event.
Following the very successful visit of Limerick Olympian Sarah Lavin to the school, sixth class had to complete their Dare to Believe log books. Once this was completed, their hard work led them to being awarded a Olympic Ireland Dare to Believe Flag. We look forward to raising this flag in 2023. The class also received commemorative Irish Olympic pins as a memento of their work in the programme.
Well done to all the class.
