Last year, we won the Cumann na mBunscol A Final for football. We were re-entered this year. We started off with the mini sevens and we got to the final but lost by a point to Craughwell. Cumann na mBunscol was played at Claregalway centre. We were in Group A along with Cummer, Maree, Craughwell and Ardrahan. We put our best effort into playing those four teams and were ecstatic to reach the final, as those teams were of a very high standard.


Beating Moycullen was our next task!

At half-time we were losing by two points. In the second half it was a really tight game and the nerves could be felt by the spectators. Many of our friends and family had come to support us and watch the game. However, in the last minute we got a point to win the final. The ref blew the whistle and we had won Cumann na mBunscol A again! We were so delighted with ourselves and our hard work and dedication had paid off! Everybody got presented with a medal and the captains were presented with the cup.

As we got back to the school 6th class were waiting at the gates to congratulate us. Later that day, we walked to the shop and were treated to a Blizz ice-cream by Mr Gallagher to finish off a wonderful day!
