Football

Hockey

As we wind down Hockey for another year, it is great to see the school reaching Finals and Semi Finals. Our Junior 1s have had a great season this year, but fell 2-0 to Mt Anville in their League Semi Final early in the term. Our Minor 3s lost out to a very strong Kilkenny College team in their League Semi Final. 

In our 1st Year section, the 1st Year 1s reached the Cup Final and narrowly lost by 1 goal against Kilkenny College. Sadly, the 1s also lost out to a late goal in their League Semi against Wesley. It is a tough end for our 1st Year 1s, who have had a great year winning the 8v8 league and reaching a cup final.  Our 1st Year 2s have progressed to the League final after a convincing win over Loreto Beaufort, and will play Kings Hospital in the final. 

Finally we would like to congratulate Grace G (4O), Annabel O'L (4O) and Emily S (4Y) on being selected for the upcoming 6 Nations tournament over Easter in Mannheim Germany. We are really proud of their achievement and wish them ongoing success in the national programme. 

Also Congratulations to Eve O'D (3B) (Under 16s) and Darcy C (4O) (Under 18s) who have been selected to represent Leinster squads that will participate in a tournament in The Hague over Easter. We wish you all the best of luck, you will all be very busy over Easter. 

Swimming

Last weekend Alex was represented at the Irish Schools Swimming relay championships at the National Aquatic Centre in Blanchardstown, Congratulations to Lucy M (3R), Ailbhe S (2R), Isla G (3S) and Charlotte C (2R), who won Gold in the Freestyle relay and another Gold in the Medley relay.

This is a fantastic achievement for the school and the four swimmers to have won two races at a National Championship event.

Well done girls.
