JUNIOR RUGBY-Gallen CS have a chance to go one step further than their 2008 runners up position when they take to the field for the Connacht Junior Development final. The final could be played in the Galway Sports grounds and it will be against Colaiste Iognaid or Clifden CS. Gallen CS overcame a strong test against Roscommon CBS in the semi-final in Roscommon on Tuesday of last week . Ryan Heavin scored a try and he also converted it and knocked
over a penalty to give the Ferbane lads a 10–0 half time lead. They withstood a strong challenge from Roscommon to hold out 10-3.
TEAM – Ryan Heavin , Jarlath Stevenson, Brian mc Evoy , Anthony Seery, Conor Owens , Colin Kenny , Kyle Higgins , Dean Guinan, Darren Buckley, Conor Kelly, Alex Kearns , Michael o Shea , Jack Quinn , Jack Clancy and Tom Corcoran. Best of luck to Conor
Galvin and the team in the final. Dates, times and venues to be fixed next week.
BADMINTON – hard luck to our team which acquitted themselves well
in the Leinster Finals in Baldoyle , Dublin last week.
GAA – hard luck to our u 14 girls who narrowly lost to Sacred Heart Tullamore in the Championship Blitz. The girls did fantastic overall, beating Banagher, Clara and Kilbeggan before a missed penalty which hit the post deprived them against Tullamore.
In addition , the Leinster Junior Schools football semi-final between Gallen CS and Moate CS will have been played at the time of going to press. This game although important in its own
right will aid preparations for the All Ireland semi-final on March 23. Gallen’s opponents in that semi-final will be known today next week.
BASKETBALL– well done to our first years who beat Mercy Ballymahon , hard luck to our second years who lost to the same opponents. Sadly our 1st and 2 nd years didn’t make it to the semi-finals but they can be proud of their efforts nonetheless.
LCVP TRIP– thanks to Mrs Bardon and Mr Lenihan who accompanied our 5th years to visit Steripack in Clara. This experience of watching enterprise in action will serve our students well as they embark on their LCVP Modules.
