There was great excitement in Glennon Brothers Pearse Park in Longford on Wednesday 18th May when our Mixed Boys/Girls School Team won their Championship Final vs Lenamore NS! The team had been training hard all year and we have had some super victories as well as some disappointing defeats along the way but we were always enjoying learning the skills as well as encouraging and supporting each other on and off the pitch.
The team played exceptionally well in the final and won out on a scoreline of 4-16 to 1-06. There were some brilliant examples of blocking, tackling, catching and scoring on display from the team as well as terrific teamwork and link-up play. The boys and girls made the whole school community proud and it was a lovely way to finish up the school football for this year. We wish the 6th class pupils the best of luck as they hopefully go on to keep playing for their secondary schools next year. Hard luck to Lenamore NS who never gave up and got some great scores of their own on the day.
Afterwards, the team got to go to McDonald's for a well deserved post-match meal and we are also planning to have a presentation in the hall very soon where we will be presenting all of the panel with their medals! Finally, thanks to 5 Star Furniture for sponsoring our new jerseys this year, we really looked the part when we ran on to the pitch!
Here is some photos of the team from the final in Pearse Park!
