Well done to the boys and girls of 4th Class who took part in the FAI Primary Schools Futsal Competition in Barnacarroll on Thursday and Friday.
On Thursday the boys were up first against Barnacarroll N.S where they had a clear win with brilliant scores from Dillon Mc Guinness, Mark Lowther and Owen Flannery. However, luck was not on our side for our next two games against Tooreen N.S. and Bekan N.S. The boys however played their very best and showed great sportsmanship. They should be very proud of their efforts.
Yesterday Friday the girls had a more successful day wining two games and drawing two. They were first up against our neighbours Cloonlyon N.S. It was an super win for us with great scores from Jessica Casey and Lylah Callaghan. Our next game was against Bekan N.S who put up an excellent game that could have gone either way at full time. Ballinrobe followed with another good game. We saw fantastic scores from Kate O’Donghue and Lylah Callaghan which kept us in the lead. Our last game was against Barnacarroll N.S which ended with a nil all draw. There was great skill and determination witnessed on both sides. Unfortunately for us we needed that win to go on to the next stage.
Overall it was a wonderful two days of sport. The children really enjoyed themselves, showed great sportsmanship and gave a great display of their soccer skills. Well done to all teams who took part and best of luck to those going forward to the next round.
A special word of thanks to Ms.Henry for looking after both teams. As always Rang a Ceathair did her proud!
