TAG RUGBY LEAGUE 2005
The tag rugby league began at the
same time as the 6 nations did there were 12 teams so it was
called the 12 nations my team was Scotland and we got through
to the final there was a league at the start which my team
came 4th in the league and was just outside the
automatic qualification so we had to qualify almost all of the
teams who qualified beat the team that qualified
automatically. It was Scotland and the
U.S.A. in the Final
and U.S.A. won.

Our school
has always been synonymous with sports activities of all kinds
and this year was another hectic one with leagues in gaelic
football, tag rugby, soccer, hurling, basketball and a new one
for us--table tennis. It is to the great credit of all
involved that much of this work takes place during lunchtime
and after school. Long may our school continue to excel in
this vital area for all children but especially
boys.

The Hurling Year
This year we enjoyed a good
hurling year where we were unlucky to get knocked out in the
semi-final of the mini-sevens losing to Tooreen national
school. Then after that the A-team had qualifying round with
Ballina and Ballyhaunis national schools both which we bet
convincingly after that we were drawn in a semi-final with
Snugboro who we drew with after a convincing performance. The
week after the replay was on which we lost by three
points. Snugboro were leading 3-1 to no score after ten
minutes but we made some changes and were losing by two goals
at the break. In the second half we made a comeback.

Report
from Ribena Soccer--By Richard McGreal
On Tuesday the 14th of June
2005 eight lads represented the school in the All Ireland
Ribena 5 aside competition in Navan Co. Meath. To get to Navan
we had to play in the connaughts, which were held in Manulla.
We had to play a team from Galway and a team from Sligo. We
drew with Galway and beat Sligo with two goals from Adam
McGowan and a goal from Roy Cresham. We were presented with
the cup and a new set of Ribena jerseys for our games in
Navan. We travelled to Navan with our coaches Mr.Canning and
Mr.Cogan. It |

took us
roughly 3 ˝ hours to get there. Our first match was against
St.Dermots of Waterford, which we lost with a goal in
the last five minutes. Our second match was against Kennedy
Park, which we lost 3-1. Our third match and final match was
against Letterkenny of Donegal, which ended up 1-1. Overall we
finished 3d in Ireland which is brilliant.

A table tennis table was purchased this year--the very
first (of many to come) to be acquired by our school. A senior
table tennis league for fifth and sixth was organised and run
on a round robin basis at lunchtimes during the months of
March, April an May. The competition proved a great success
and the atmosphere for the finals was super. From an original
entry of 60 boys, the group who qualified for the finals
consisted of Eoin Lisibach, Richard McGreal, Oisín Ferriter
and Kevin Keena. Eoin and Kevin fought out an exciting final
with Kevin being declared the first ever St. Patrick's Table
Tennis Champion.
After this initial success, it is hoped
to purchase at least two more tables in September and provide
opportunities for as many boys who wish to get involved in a
great social activity. Who knows where it will
lead!

Junior
Basketball League 2005
Following on from the successful revival of the
Senior Basketball League (5th-6th Classes) it was decided to
organise an after school league for the Junior Classes
(3rd-4th). There was great excitement leading up to the
commencement of the league as many of these boys had not
played in a competitive basketball match previously. 80 pupils
took on the challenge initially and really enjoyed
participating. There skill level proved to be very high and
the competition was keen throughout. The quarter-finals saw
teams captained by Patrick Cronnolly, Luke Benson, Jake
Gannon, |

O'Malley, Ryan Coleman, Ashley Jensen, Patrick Durkan and
James Durkan attempt to reach the last four. The final, which
was watched by both fourth and both third classes was a very
exciting one between Jake Gannon and Ryan Coleman with Jake's
team proving too strong on the day. They were the first to be
presented with the new Junior Perpetual
Shield.
