Semi Final Victory

Well done to the boys' football teams who have made it to the Division Two football final.

Playing a superb Kentstown outfit, they put in a great first half performance but went in at the break behind by four points. When Kentstown came out and scored 1-2 without reply, it didn't look good for Kildalkey. 

However, these boys are made of stern stuff. Goals from Caemerhon, Brandon and Charlie put them a point up. When Kentstown rallied to go up again by a point, Brandon came down the field to get the winning goal. There was still time for Kentstown to have one last attack but their effort for a levelling score just went the wrong side of the post.

This will be Kildalkey's first ever Division Two football final. It will be played on June 10th in Páirc Tailteann. The very best of luck to them on that day.

Holy Communion Celebration

Congratulations to the boys and girls in second class who celebrated their Communion on Saturday, 13th May in St. Dympna's Church.

The mass, celebrated by Fr. Mohan, was a beautiful ceremony. Much credit is due to Mrs. Treadwell for her excellent preparation of all the students. Congratulations too to Miss O'Sullivan who presided over the superb choir. Well done to all.

Afterwards, there was a reception hosted by the Parents' Association in the Hall, with lots of refreshments for young and old.

Thanks again to all who contributed to the day and well done to all the 2nd class students.

Turning of the Sod

Preparations for the building of Kildalkey's N.S.'s new building got underway this week with the Turning of the Sod. Bishop Michael Smith travelled to Kildalkey N.S. to turn the sod and celebrate the beginning of the new school building.

A beautiful ceremony was had, with readings from sixth class, tin whistle playing from second class and some harmonious singing from both classes.

Bishop Smith turned the sod, under the watchful eye of Mr. Fox, Colin Finnegan (chairman of the Board of Management) and parish priest Fr. Mohan.

Afterwards, refreshments were had in the staff room, set up and catered for by Angie, Pat and Pauline. A stunning cake was also prepared by Miss Wynn.

Thanks to all who participated in the ceremony. This is a very exciting time in Kildalkey N.S., with building due to start in the next couple of weeks.
