Girls' Final
Well done to our terrific girls' team who have reached the final in their football division!
Playing Scoil Naomh Eoin, who had beaten the girls earlier in the year, Kildalkey warmed to the task. Goals from Sarah D, Amelia, Sarah C along with a brilliant point from Larissa put Kildalkey in a two goal lead at half time, 4-1 to 2-1.
Scoil Naomh Eoin rose to the task though, and fought back gamely. When they hit the equalising point with two minutes left, things looked bleak for Kildalkey who had had to withstand a lot of pressure in that second half. However, there was time for one more attack and when Larissa centred the ball for Sarah, she powered it to the net for the winning goal!
Well done to the girls, lead by their captains Jessica and Niamh. Their brave defensive effort in the second half saw excellent defensive performances from Alannah, Jessica, Hollieanne and Ellie in front of goalkeeper Niamh who pulled off some great saves. Trojan efforts in midfield saw Orla and Sarah get through a lot of work. The forwards got some great scores from Sarah D, Amelia and Larissa with Sarah J and Eva getting through a lot of work and getting on a lot of ball.
Well done to all the girls - their final will take place on Friday, 22nd November.
Team Visits the School!
The school today celebrated with the Senior Hurling Champions of 2019.
The Kildalkey panel and its management arrived in with the cup from the weekend!
There was a lot of cheering, celebrating and singing, lots of blue and white and plenty of loud voices!
It was great to see so many past pupils back on stage, back years after playing and developing their skills in the school.
We heard great speeches from team captain Gary Kelly, managers Pat O'Halloran and Daire Lahart and current players Luke Rickard and James McNally.
Thanks too to the team who gave the school homework off!
We hope to see them all back before too long!
Boys March into Quarter Final
The boys recently qualified for the quarter finals in Division Two, when defeating Gaelscoil na Bóinne.
Playing good football in Dunganny, the boys opened up a 1-8 to 0-1 half time lead. Gaelscoil replied with two early goals in the second half, but Kildalkey eventually upped the tempo again to see off the spirited Gaelscoil side.
Well done to Kildalkey on a good performance and we look forward to seeing them in the quarter final!

3rd 4th Class Football Match
Well done to the third and fourth class football team who played their first game against Scoil Naomh Eoin last Thursday, 10th November.
In what was a great contest, Conor's goal just after half time put Kildalkey in the ascendancy. But goals from Scoil Naomh Eoin shaded the contest.
Well done to all the footballers on what was a great day's football!
