55 boys took part in our school hurling league this past term which was organised by Mr. Fleming. Some excellent skills were displayed and we had many very competitive matches. Well done to all five captains, Zach Devlin, Dan Sheehan, George Keating, Olan Mackey & Corey Griffin, for organising their teams. The final came down to teams C & E (Corey Griffin & Dan Sheehan) and after a great encounter Team C won and captain Corey Griffin was presented with the Br. Athanasius Cup. Medals were presented later to both teams from the final and all participants got some posters and ‘goodies’!
The Winning Team
On Monday 19th December the five captains, together with Mr. Kenneally, Mr. Fleming & Mr. O'Loingsigh visited Br. Athanasius in Cobh Hospital. We wish him all the best.
