Hard luck to the Junior Ladies Football Team and their coaches, Ms. Ella Ryan and Ms. Kathleen Martin on their narrow defeat to St.Mary's of Mallow today. The final score was 8-12 to 9-5.
Congrats to the U15 Boys Rugby Team who beat Schull and Ross yesterday but narrowly lost to Bantry in the Munster Rugby School's Blitz held in Skibb R.F.C. Thanks to their coaches, Mr.Paul Cross and Ms.Kathleen Martin. Thanks to Mr. Ray Gadston from Munster Rugby for organising.
The First match V Bantry proved to be the biggest challenge. With the last play of the match, Bantry cut through our defence and scored the only try of the match.
Our second match against Schull was a different affair with 5 tries and 3 conversions scored. Robbie Minihane, Tom Kavanagh, Dean O Flynn, Jamie O Driscoll and Captain Donnachadh Maguire were all on the score sheet.
The 3rd and final match against Rosscarbery saw us run in 6 tries whilst only conceding one. Try scorers included Jamie O Driscoll, Robbie Minihane, Luke O Connell, Darragh Coombes, James O Neill and Connie Ronan.
Well done to the whole squad who did a great job. Thanks to Ms. Mags Coombes and Skibb RFC for organising the venue.

Cork Film Festival: Mardi, le 14 novembre, les élèves d'études linguistiques and culturelles sont allés à Cork pour regarder le film français 'Ma vie de Courgette'. C'est un film animé qui raconte l'histoire d'un garçon (qui s'appelle Courgette) qui doit aller vivre dans un orphelinat après quelques événements tragiques dans la vie. Là, il rencontre d'autres jeunes qui l'aident et le soutiennent. C'est un film de grande importance culturelle française. Après, les élèves ont eu une heure pour manger et pour faire un peu de shopping. Tout le monde s'est bien amusés.
The school community wishes the best of luck to those 5th year students who have made a film for this year’s Euroscola competition. They are in with a chance to win a trip to Strasbourg.
Well done to Muirios Waugh who directed the film and to Niamh Lynch who was the assistant director. A huge amount of work went into this to research “why young people vote in the European elections”.
Well done to the following students who feature in the clip: Jemma Barrett, Eimear Collins, Daniel McCarthy, John McCarthy, Kate O’Connell and Katie Cronin.
