We present Lesley Ann Sweeney (3rd year) and congratulate her on her soccer achievements this year. Lesley Ann has been participating in trials for the past few weeks for the U-15 Girls Connacht Soccer team and her hard work has paid off with her now playing in centre mid-field for the Connacht team!

Lesley Ann and her team mates will play in a tournament this coming weekend in Dublin - we wish you the very best of luck Lesley Ann!
