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.
3rd and 4th Hurling Match v Dangan
Well done to the third and fourth class hurling team who were narrowly defeated by Dangan in the opening round of the Peadar O'Liatháin cup.
Despite the loss, the boys can feel very proud of their performance as they played very well throughout. Crucial goals at important moments in the match decided the match in Dangan's favour but the boys have two matches left to salvage their season!
Runners Up in Camogie Mini 7s
Well done to our terrific Mini 7s Camogie team who came in second place in the Mini 7s today!
The girls beat Gaelscoil na Bóinne and St. Mary's Trim to qualify for the finals a fortnight ago.
Today, they beat Boyerstown N.S. in the first round and then overcame Dunboyne N.S. 3-1 to 2-0 in the second match.
The final saw them pitted against Kiltale N.S.. Though battling hard throughout, scores from Orla, Sarah and Grace were not enough to beat a strong Kiltale team. However, the girls can feel very pleased with their day's work! Coming second in Meath is a great achievement!
Lastly, Orla, joint captain of the school, was chosen to play in Croke Park during the summer. Well done Orla and well done to the girls!
Basketball Success
Our two basketball teams have had great success lately in the basketball.
They had two games each last week against Bohermeen and Robinstown.
In two keenly contested games, the girls unfortunately came out the wrong side of both games, despite their best efforts. The girls can feel very proud of their efforts which saw them come third in their group.
The boys lost their first game to Bohermeen but then recovered to defeat Robinstown in a thrilling encounter played in the hall in Kildalkey N.S.. They await the results of the other games in the group to see if they have made a final.
Well done to both teams and well done to their coaches Kitty and Brian!
Mini 7s Success

Our girls' team, captained by Orla and Ellie, beat St. Mary's N.S., Trim and Gaelscoil na Bóinne to qualify for the finals on Wednesday, 3rd December.
