Last Wednesday June 30th our Sen. football team played Newbridge Educate Together in the Division 6 county final . It was a great occasion and some achievement by players and coaches. Our children played out of their skins and never gave up against a superior team on the day. Even though we lost each and everyone of them did their best. A big thank you must go to all the parents and children who came to support the team it was much appreciated.
The following day spirits were lifted by the Army Band who put on a great show for the children. Some children got to conduct and play percussion instruments with the band. A big thank you must go to Des Healy for organising the event.
We welcome and would be delighted if their are any parents or family who would like to share information in regard to their culture and history with the children in your child's class on Culture day on 15th June.
A big congrats to our Sen hurling team on reaching the county final. This is our first time ever to reach a final in hurling and a tremendous achievement for players and coaches involved.
Our girls put in a brave performance in their camogie semi-final against St. Brigid's Kildare. On the day we lost on a score line of 5goals to two. The heart and effort that they displayed was a joy to behold.
