September Sport in Knockskeagh

September Sport in Knockskeagh

In Knockskeagh we are proud of being recognised as an Active School and this month is proving to be as active and fun-filled as ever!!!

Over the last few weeks, Barry O’Mahony of Warrior Martial Arts has visited our school and provides excellent Taekwondo lessons to all classes. Our pupils really love these lessons.

Finny O’Regan of Clonakilty RFC visits our school each Thursday and our pupils practice their skills and movement with smiles on their faces.

Conan O’Donovan of Clonakilty GAA visits our school every Tuesday and provides Gaelic Football coaching to all pupils of our school. Conan helps to develop skills through fun small group games.

We are lucky to have such dedicated coaches visit our school each year, there is certainly always fun and fitness provided during these sessions.

Thank you Barry, Finny and Conan 🙂
