FAI Soccer 2024

Our school soccer teams competed in the FAI Primary 5 a-side County Qualifiers recently.

Both our girls and boys’ teams played really well in the tournament.

All teams’ efforts were rewarded with positive results in the group stages.

Unfortunately, both girls teams narrowly missed out on progression to the next stage of the competition.

However, one of the boys teams including Matthew Kelleher, Barry Connolly, Daniel Walsh, Tim Crowley, Daire O’Neill, Michael Collins, Will Coleman and Patrick O’Leary got through to the county finals in Musgrave Park.

After a series of excellent performances in the group stages, they progressed through the group stage. They eventually lost out 2-1 after extra time in the quarter-final.

This was an amazing achievement considering the schools that we were competing against all over the county.

All involved can be very proud of their efforts and they were all superb ambassadors for our school!!
