Community Garda Chris Verling paid a visit to our CSPE classes and engaged in a lively and most enjoyable question & answers session with our 3rd year students. Garda Verling delivered an insightful talk pertaining to the role of a Garda in a community as well as civil law, criminal law, how our justice system operates etc.. Feedback from our students was most positive and deemed to be hugely valuable for the concept of Law in CSPE.

SOCCER 5-A-SIDE

Well done to team France on defeating team Portugal in our 1st year 5-a-side tournament held at The Dome last Wednesday. Competition was intense as eight teams from 1st year took part to claim title as champions. The final was a riveting affair with scores level approaching injury time. Seán Ryan however, ended the deadlock with a superb individual goal to win 1-0. Well done also, to organisers of this superb contest Mr. JP Butler and Mr. Colin Lynch.

GAA

Our senior football team’s venture to Clonmel GAA grounds wasn’t to be a fruitful one as we faced a formidable Coláiste Chluain Meala in the County championships. Whilst we led in the early stages, relentless pressure applied by Clonmel resulted in a brace of goals and despite finishing with superb performances from Phillip O’Sullivan, Curtis Ryan, Gavin Dunne, Aaron Delaney, and Dan Dwyer we ultimately succumbed to a better side on the day.
