We were delighted to welcome Finny O’Regan back from Clonakilty Rugby Club to Knockskeagh this year.

Finny is currently coaching rugby to all children from Senior Infants to 6th class.

All classes are being coached every Thursday on our courts, as well as on our sports field.

Thank you Finny for providing a really enjoyable, safe, and fun experience for all our pupils.

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.
