| Football Year |
Our football year had many ups and downs during
this school period but nevertheless we had some
fantastic achievements. At under 15 level we reached
our second Munster final in a row . We won this
Munster title the previous year and were going in as
champions. Unfortunately we had a slow start to this
game and it probably cost us the match against a very
good Dingle side. It was still a great achievement to
get to the Munster final two years in a row.
At Under 16/1/2 level we had a great year. This was
our first year playing in the 'A' level competition, the
Corn an Fhriunnaigh cup. We beat St Flannans and
Colaiste Chriost Ri to reach the Munster final at 'A'
level for the first time ever. We eventually lost to a
very good Tralee C.B.S. side but we put up a great
show and with five minutes remaining we were
awarded a penalty with five points between the sides.
Unfortunately we missed the penalty and our chance
of victory was gone . We can be very proud of our
achievement on reaching the Munster Final in our
first year at this standard of Munster Football.
Our Under 18 team had mixed fortunes .We lost to
Cashel in the County competition, the Mac Gabhann
Cup by three points. This was our first game and we
probably had not got enough work done at this stage.
The next game was against Castle troy Community
College from Limerick who had a very good side and
in an exciting match we eventually emerged winners
by the narrowest of margins ,the point being scored
by David McGrath. Next up was Carrigline
Community College from Cork. At this stage we had
lost Ciaran Lorrigan to injury which was a big blow
to the team. We went down to Carrigline by two
points in a game that flowed from end to end and
with a bit of luck it could have gone our way but it was not to be.
Overall there was some great performances over the
year and we can look forward to next year with great
hope that it will be a successful year at all levels. At
this time of writing our under 14 team are preparing
for the Rockwell Blitz and we wish them every
success in this competition
