Fifth Class Boys' Final Victory

Well done to the fifth class boys who won the Fifth class Hurling competition in Dunganny yesterday, 20th December.

Up against a strong St. Paul's Navan team, Kildalkey settled into the task well with a great goal from James. With Kildalkey's defence to the fore, and Thomas and Jamie putting in strong shifts in midfield, St. Paul's were finding it hard to break them down. When James and then Conor goaled again to add to points from Thomas and Caemerhon, it left the half time score 3-3 to 0-1.

Kildalkey kept the pressure on in the second half. Despite conceding an early goal to St. Paul's, they kept adding to the scoreboard with great points from James, Conor Mc, Caemerhon and Thomas adding to the good work being done out the field. Aaron and James were constant threats, keeping the St. Paul's defence on its toes. With Patrick producing great saves in goal, added to sterling defending from Shay, Conor B, the two James and Mark, St. Paul's were unable to bridge the gap. Eventually, the final whistle went and the game was over with the victory claimed on a scoreline of 3-7 to 1-2.

Afterwards, Conor and Jamie collected the shield and made rousing speeches. Well done to the fifth class hurlers on a well deserved win, having defeated Kells, Boardsmill and Dunderry en route to yesterday's final. The future is bright!

Our Successful Scientists!

Well done to the fifth class girls who represented the school in today's regional Intel Mini Scientist competition!

Having won the school competition in Kildalkey, the four girls were up against the cream of the crop from Leinster in today's regional finals in Blanchardstown I.T.. The girls had put in trojan work with their project 'DNA - answers in our genes'. They were able to take DNA from their cheeks and display to the judges via a microscope and other techniques!

The standard in the competition was remarkably high with some superb and innovative entries on display. However, the judges were suitably impressed that the girls were picked out to represent the school in the Grand Final in February!!

This is the first time a group from Kildalkey N.S. has ever qualified out of the regional finals and we are all very proud of the four girls and the work they have put in, along with the great support given to them by their parents! Well done Anna, Ellen, Meadhbh and Shannon!
