Hard luck to the senior footballers who were narrowly defeated by the smallest of margins, 0-1, in the semi final today against Maynooth. The fight and spirit shown for the 60 minutes , despite many set backs , made us all very proud.The team were excellently prepared by Mr. Power, Mr.Cribbin and Mr.Kavanagh since U14 and the team will no doubt look back with fond memories of their time playing football for the school. An excellent year made possible by an exceptional group of players.
