However, with a small panel the Skibbereen girls were under a lot of pressure and despite a terrific performance from all, they were 52 to 47 points down at the final whistle. The team included Enya Breen (14 points), Kate O'Connell (21 points), Clodagh Byrne (4 points), Deirdre O’ Sullivan (8 points), Lisa Mc Carthy, Caoimhe Leonard, Clare Coombes & Helena Davis. Well done Girls!

We are delighted that Ray Marsden from Munster Rugby will be coming to our Monday PE classes to introduce our first years to Touch Rugby. This course will run from Monday Nov. 7th. until the Christmas holidays. It is for ALL pupils in the 3 Monday classes. As we will, hopefully, be outdoors most of the time, please dress appropriately. Runners please - not football/rugby boots. Lots of light layers, warm hat and a big smile! Coats/jackets not suitable for class as they are too bulky to allow for movement required. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!
