Foireann Chamógaíochta Chorcaí

Ar an gCéadaoin 21 Bealtaine chuireamar fáilte roimh baill foireann chamógaíocta mionúr Chorcaí a bhuaigh Craobh na Mumhan le déanaí.  Ina measc bhí iarscoláire Ghaelscoil Uí Riada- Sara Ní Shúilleabháin agus treanálaí na foirne – John Middleton.

Bhailigh daltaí na scoile ó Rang 1 go Rang 6 sa Halla agus labhair an treanálaí ar dtús agus mhol sé do gach duine dul amach agus bheith páirteach i spórt.

Ansin labhair Sara agus dúirt sí gur thosaigh sí le cúrsaí spóirt fad is a bhí sí i nGaelscoil Uí Riada – ag imirt i Sciath na Scol, agus go raibh an- chuid cairde nua déanta aici ag imirt spóirt.  Níor cheap sí riamh go mbeadh an deis aici bheith mar bhall d’foireann Chorcaí ag teacht ar ais chuig Gaelscoil Uí Riada le corn.

On Wednesday 21 May we welcomed members of the Cork Minor camogie team which had recently won the Munster championship- and among them their coach- John Middleton and Sara O Sullivan – a past pupil of Gaelscoil Uí Riada.

Pupils and teachers from first to sixth class gathered in the Halla to welcome them and the coach spoke about the importance of being involved in sport for fitness and health and Sara spoke of the friends she had made through playing sport.

She also said that as a pupil, she had been in the Halla to welcome victorious Cork teams, but never thought that she would have the opportunity to return to the school as a member of a team and bring a trophy to the school. She remembered starting to play sport and taking part in Sciath na Scol competitions during her time in the school.
