What an evening we had in McHale Park where our school teams both contested County Finals !

It was a great achievement for our school to have both our teams featuring at this final stage, highlighting also, the great work that is ongoing in Charlestown in the juvenile section of our local G.A.A. Club.

First up were our boys who were pitted against an exceptional Cooneal side who proved more than a match for everything that was sent in their direction. To their immense credit our boys never gave up, battling to the final whistle, giving their all.

We really are so proud of each of the boys and are thrilled with the progress that they each have made throughout this year. It was a wonderful experience to compete on County Final day in McHale Park and a memory that will last with the boys forever.

After a short break our girls took to the field against Kilmaine N.S. who as with Cooneal proved to be very talented and competitive opponents. Despite starting well, our girls were rocked by three excellent goals which saw us going to the break three points down. However,the response from the girls in the second half was amazing, each player playing their part in a fantastic team performance and ensuring we were victorious by a six point winning margin.
It was a performance full of heart , determination, desire and never say die attitude from the girls who were really put to the pin of their collars to succeed!

As with the boys they each have put a huge effort into their training and preparation throughout this year and have been excellent role models to all the younger students throughout the school. We had some girls taking football up for the first time and also those that have taken a greater interest this year and others who excel consistently. Our team really was the sum of the all the girls’ efforts who each contributed so much!
