Hard Luck Girls

Hard luck to our brilliant girls' team who lost out in the Division 3 final against Gaelscoil Éanna.

Against a strong wind in the first half, the girls battled well and were well in the game, coming up to half time. However, a goal before half time coupled with an injury to midfielder Jennah were to prove crucial.

The girls started well in the second half and boosted by some superb defending from Sarah, Caoimhe and Megan made inroads into the deficit and 3 points from Niamh, Aoife and Lucy helped narrow the margin. However, a further injury to Ruth didn't help their cause and their fate was sealed when Gaelscoil Éanna nabbed a second goal towards the end.

The girls can feel very proud of their work this year and though the final result was disappointing, it has been a very successful year otherwise. Well done to them.

Thanks to all the parents for bringing them to training and to matches and thanks also to Miss Kennedy and Chloe for all the work they did with them throughout the year.

Peadar Lehane Finals

Well done to the boys' 3rd and 4th class hurling team and the girls' 3rd and 4th camogie team who won the Peadar Lehane cups today.

In two very tight matches, Kildalkey just got the upper hand in both matches.

In a beautiful Boardsmill GAA pitch, the boys games was first. Excellent scores from Harry, Lucas and Seán meant a half time scoreline of 3 goals to none. Further points from Lucas and Eoin meant the cup was coming back to Kildalkey.

Afterwards, Mr. Battersby handed out the medals to all the players from both sides and presented the cup to captains Samuel and Harry. They then made an excellent speech praising the opposition and the grounds in particular. Well done boys!

The girls' match was an even tighter affair. An early score from Boardsmill put Kildalkey under serious pressure. However, the girls were up to the challenge and a goal from Callie just before the break put the two sides level at half time. The second half was an even affair, with chances for both sides. However, with only a few minutes left, ÉabhaMarie crashed the ball to the net to give Kildalkey the win!

Daisy and Ciara gratefully received the shield from Mr. Battersby and made another excellent speech. Well done to the girls on a great performance!

Thanks to Boardsmill GAA for hosting the event, thank you to Mr. Battersby from Boardsmill N.S. for his running of the competition and for providing the medals. This competition is held every year in memory of Peadar Lehane, former Principal of Kildalkey N.S.
