School Soccer Team News

Our boys really did us proud in this years FAI 5 aside competition.  They got through the first round and today played in the Carlow County final. They won the first two matches but unfortunately  lost the last match by just one goal, narrowly missing getting through to the south Leinster Final. They are a superb bunch of Soccer players. Thanks so much to the boys representing our school and coaches Paul Traynor and John Whelan.
