F.A.I. Soccer Finals

The boys F.A.I. soccer finals took place on Thursday 15th at Donamon with Glinsk N.S. taking on Granlahan N.S., Woodbrook N.S. and Aughrim N.S. They gave a great team performance throughout all the matches winning each match to go through to the final against Loughglynn N.S.

The final was the fourth match in a row for the boys and in very difficult wet conditions, Loughglynn proved too strong on the day but the team performance augers well for next year. Thanks to Martin Hegarty & James Shevlin who coached the team on the day and the supporters who turned out on the day. Well done boys on a great team performance throughout the day.

The girls played brilliantly coached by Ms Quinn, Stephen Neary and Ms. Nolan going on to win 4-2 ending the year as they started – champions!

 

The team were delighted to accept the shield to add to their impressive collection from the year, being one of the most successful teams in the school!
