Girls Camogie
Bodyke National School 2-0 Crusheen National School 0-0
Our girls put on a brave and wholehearted performance in Bodyke before
going down to the home side by 2 goals in the schools' camogie league.
The teams were level at half time and it was the greater strength and
experience of the Bodyke girls that won through in the end. Our girls
improved with every game this year and are already looking forward to
next year's competition.
Team: Siobhán McNamara (capt.), Ruth Kearney, Jenny Hansbury,
Niamh Moloney, Aine McNamara and Nikola Makulová. Subs: H. Leonard,
C. Horner (played), E. Cleary, E. Varley, C. O'Brien, E. Murray, C.
Slattery, Carol O'Brien, K.Daffy, R. Pyett & L. McMahon.
Boys Hurling Semi-Final
Last Tuesday our boys hurling team were defeated by Newmarket on a scoreline
of 7 : 8 to 3 : 10. The socreline didn't reflect the game as our lads
put Newmarket to the pin of their collar in what was a smashing game
of hurling. Our boys were slow to settle but once they got into it they
hurled with great skill and determination and were ahead at half time
by 2 - 6 to 1- 6. The second half was a great battle with the hurling
being played at a ferocious speed. However in the final few minutes
of the game Newmarket got in for a few goals. Our lads should be proud
of themselves as they all hurled with great enthusiasm and pride for
the school. The scorers were J. Fitzgibbon 2-5, R. Halpin 1-2, C. O'Loughlin
0-2, L. Hayes 0-1, while C. Vaughan, A. Rodgers, M.Perrill, G. Roseingrave,
Y. Horner, S. Loughrey all shone.
Congrats to Rory Halpin who gave an excellent display at full-back for
the Clare Primary Game Team against Tipperary in Thurles.
School
Uniforms / Tracksuits
A new system is being put in place
to deal with this issue. We would ask all parents/guardians to read
carefully the letter attached to this Newsletter. At the request of
the Parents' Association a tracksuit is being introduced and we are
asking that this tracksuit be worn on all occasions when a tracksuit
is necessary.
CHARITABLE
CHILDREN
We commend the First Communion
and Confirmation children for their wonderful generosity at this time.
They haven't forgotten those less well off than themselves. The First
Holy Communion Class donated €170 to the Belarussian Orphanage
Fund and the Confirmation Class gave €150 to Trócaire for
water provision in East Africa.
