Junior Boys Rugby Blitz Success Well done to the school’s Junior boys rugby team who played in a blitz at Cill Dara rugby club, Thursday 26th Sept. in The Curragh. This tough blitz was to qualify for the Anne McInerney cup in Leinster. The boys won two out of their three games. Mr Dooley & Ms O’ Hagan commended the team’s success after the blitz stating, ‘there's a lot to be optimistic about after the team's first outing. The team showed great attacking potential and gritty determination when defending. Conor Mooney led the team well as captain with plenty of other stand-out performances throughout the team. Well done all!’ Kilcock Tigers Basketball Club is so very proud of TY students Emily Dwyer. This talented lady who has been named on the panel of 25 players for the Irish U16 squad. Hard work pays off! Featured above on the right is past pupil Alex Kelly who is captain of the side. Bohemians U19s manager Craig Sexton hailed his side after their recent Uefa Youth League opener against PAOK ended in a 1-1 draw in front of a crowd of 1,227 at Dalymount Park. Nice work Alex! Congratulations to Luke Maher and all the team who competed in the World Mountain Running Association International Youth Cup in Susa, Italy at the end of August. 12 The MEC Soccer Stand pictured at our recent Open Night Maynooth Education Campus
