Our Junior Camogie team had their first game against Castleknock in Saint Anne’s Park on Wednesday 12th October. This was the first HFC camogie outing in over five years. The half-time score was 2-5 to 0-2. However, an improved second half performance saw the girls gel better as a team and fought hard for every ball. The game ended in a narrow defeat on a score line of 3-11 to 1-8. Well done to all involved and a big thank you to Ms Furlong and Ms Flanagan for their work with the team.

Apologies for sending a notification at weekend but our sports teams have all reported missing items for their kits. This is a plea to check cupboards, presses, wardrobes, drawers, utility rooms and under beds for any items of kit and to return to the school.   Basketball, football, camogie, hockey, badminton and athletics are all missing items.
