Sciath na Scol

Ghlac foireann iománaíochta agus foireann chamógaíochta ón scoil páirt sna comórtaisí an téarma seo agus d’éirigh go han-mhaith leo. Bhuaigh na buachaillí gach cluiche ach ceann amháin agus bhí orthu “play-off” a imirt i gcoinne Áth an Chóiste- ach tar éis tréaniarracht a dhéanamh níor éirigh leo dul níos faide.

D’éirigh go han-mhaith leis na cailíní chomh maith agus tar éis na cluichí a imirt le cailliúnt amháin , fuaireadar amach go mbeadh siad sa chraobh i gcoinne Baile Shíoda.

A leithéid de sceitimíní agus an fhoireann ag ullmhú don lá mór. Ar deiraedh , bhI  sé tagtha agus d’imigh na ranganna go dtí Páirc Uí Rinn chun tacú leis na cailíní. D’imir siad sár-chluiche, ach sa deireadh ní raibh siad láidir go leor, agus thóg Baile Shíoda leo an corn ar an lá.

Comhghairdeas le gach éinne a bhí páirteach ar an lá agus leis na tuismitheoirí don tacaíocht agus buíochas speisialta leis  múinteoirí a chabhraigh leo. Beidh lá eile—-

A hurling team and a camogie team from Gaelscoil Uí Riada took part in the Sciath na Scol competitions this term and both teams did very well.

The hurling team went through their campaign with only one loss. This left them in a play-off situation, but uunfortunately the had to give way to a stronger Coachford team in a pulsating game.  Coachford duly went on to win in the final, which proved a small consolation.

Meanwhile the camogie team had a similar record in the competition, but reached the final.

This was no more than the girls deserved after some great displays and their was great excitement leading up to the finalagainst Ballyheda.  On the day, a large contingent of pupils and parents converged on Páirc Uí Rinn to cheer the team on.  despite giving their all for the cause – luck was nort with them on the day and Ballyheda took the honours.

 Congratulations to all the players involved and to all the vparents for their support. A special thanks to the teachers for all their time and work with both teams.
