Corn GAA Final and Presentation

On Monday 13th of June, the final of the Corn GAA Football Tournament was played.

The Corn tournament involved teams from 6th class playing against each other.

The top two teams after the group stage games were Sligo and Limerick and the Corn Final pitted these two teams against each other.

The final turned out to be a fantastic match with the result in the balance right up to the last few minutes. In the end, it was the Sligo team that gained a narrow victory.

After the final, the Corn Cup was presented by Mr Walsh to the talented captain of the Sligo team Ewan Knowles.

Well done to Mr. O’Meara for his organisation of the tournament.

St Patrick’s Day celebrations this year were something that we’ll certainly remember as it was a return to the in-person parade of a few years ago. 

Our school took part in the parade organised by the Clonakilty Mayoral Town Council. The theme for this year’s parade was “Le chéile arís”

As part of our parade,  the pupils made a huge effort with dressing up to mark the occasion,  in the emerald green of St Patricks Day attire or in the Knockskeagh jersey colours. 

We showcased all the wonderful activities on offer in our school and all that makes Knockskeagh so special in this year’s parade. 

Well done to all pupils and staff who made this such a special day.

Our gallery displays a snapshot of pictures from our school’s display in the  St Patrick Day parade in Clonakilty.
