Our Captain Fantastic

Chloe McMahon, our unstoppable ANA and Ballivor football captain, turned a single triumph into a school‑wide celebration last week by marching through the corridors with a handful of proud teammates, the gleaming Junior Championship cup held high for every eye to see. She visited every class, sharing the story of the hard‑fought victory with contagious enthusiasm, and fielded a barrage of questions with the poise and humility of a true leader. Her energy, sportsmanship, and genuine willingness to inspire younger pupils have left the entire school buzzing with pride—we are incredibly proud of Chloe and the shining example she sets for us all.

Thank you to Chloe, manager Ian Kavanagh and all the players on the team who came into the school. Hopefully they can inspire more to take up football and continue the traditions that the girls from Kildalkey and Ballivor are setting.

Peadar Lehane win

Well done to the boys' Peadar Lehane team who had a great win against Boardsmill N.S. last week.

On what was a wet and cold day, their level of skill, sportsmanship and determination was exceptional as they beat a good Boardsmill team.

The best of luck to the team in their final match against Ballivor.

Mini 7s Hurling Champions 2025

Kildalkey N.S. Mini 7s Hurling team created a little bit of history by winning the Meath Mini 7s Hurling Competition for the third year in a row.

In a tough group with Baconstown, Cannistown and Kiltale, Kildalkey made light of the awful conditions with some superb performances. They came from behind to beat Baconstown by a solitary point, with Oisín's last second score proving to be the winner.

A tight struggle with Kiltale saw them edge Kiltale by a single point. This was notable for the horrific conditions the boys had to endure but they came up trumps by a single point. The last game saw them take on Cannistown and they saved their best performance for last with some superb scores throughout securing the win.

Well done to all the boys on a terrific achievement. Well done also to the brave band of supporters who braved the horrible conditions to cheers them on enthusiastically throughout! Patrick made a superb speech and after, it was back to Supermacs and warm up and replenish!

We are very proud of the boys and their achievements!

Mini 7s Camogie Finals 2025

Well done to the Mini 7s Camogie team who this year finished runners up in the Meath County finals.

On a bitterly cold day, they defeated Gaelscoil na Cille by a solitary point before two late points from Elsie and Anna saw them defeat a strong Kilmessan outfit.

That saw them through to a final against Kiltale. Strong performances from the team saw them piut up a brave challenge but ultimately Kiltale proved the stronger outfit. Scores from Elsie saw them lose narrowly and credit needs to go to Aoife in goals who pulled out some superb saves to keep Kildalkey in it.

Thanks to their coach, Miss McGowan and all the supporters who braved the cold in Dunganny to support them. They can feel very proud of their efforts!
