Great success for our School Teams

19th May 2017

Wednesday 17th May brought great success to our school teams.

Our School Netball Team travelled to Banbridge Leisure Centre to compete in a Netball Tournament. With wins over Rathfriland, Drumgreenagh and a draw against Dromara our team emerged as winners of the 'St. Michaels Finnis Netball' Shield. The team would like to thank their coach, Miss Stewart, St. Michael's P.S. Finnis for organising the tournament and Banbridge Leisure Centre for hosting the event.

Our team are now looking forward to two further netball tournaments before the end of term.

 

Meanwhile our school Football Team took part in the Cumann na mBunscol 7-a-side football blitz in Drumgrath. Our team played exceptionally well to beat Castlewellan Bunscol, Legamaddy, Rathfriland and Magheramayo. We also drew against Burrenreagh in the final game. Some of games were very close but we kept trying. These results qualified us for the semi-final against Killough. 'What a match!' Killough had scored two goals before we knew where we were, but then we settled down and ended this very exciting game as one point winners.

We now look forward to 'Finals Day' in June.

A big thank you to all our parents who helped with transport.
