Bhí an fhoireann sa Shield ansin agus d’imir siad arís ar an Aoine 20 Aibrean i gcoinne cailíní ó Scoil Naoimh Íosaef i nGleann Maighir. Bhí na cailíní againne ró-láidir dóibh agus bhí bua iontach acu ar an lá.

Gaelscoil Uí Riada girls tennis team began their campaign in this years Munster Primary Schools Tennis Competition with the long journey to Nenagh to play the gils team from the Gaelscoil there.

Maria ní Bhuachalla, Rosarii Ní Ríordáin, Caoimhe Ní Nualláin and Eimear de Barra were the team members. They met a very strong Nenagh team and after a great match lost out in a play-off tie-break.

This put them in the shield competition and on Friday 20th April the team had the shorter trip to Silversprings to play St.Josephs from Galnmire. Our girls proved too strong for them and won all their games thus setting up a quarter -final match against Ennis to be played shortly.

Congratulations to the girls who are representing Gaelscoil Uí Riada and many thanks to the parents who gave the team lifts to the matches vand looked after them so well.
