Football Blitz

In June, the footballers from 4th, 5th and 6th class took part in a football blitz, consisting of eight different teams. Eventually, the eight team were whittled down to four.

On Monday 25th June, the semi finals took place. Eventually, Caoimhe's teams and Leah's team made their way to the final where they did battle.

A very tight battle ensued, with some great football on show. Eventually, Caoimhe's team got on top and eked out the win. Well done to both teams and indeed, to all who took part in the blitz!

County Representatives 2018

Kildalkey N.S. has been very well represented lately on sporting fields by its students, who have represented Meath!

First, Jamie and Ben played on a representative Cumann na mBunscol team against a representative team from Louth. The boys won all their matches, putting in some fine performances!

Jame then represented Meath in a half time exhibition match between Longford and Meath!

Not to be outdone by the boys, the girls had their own representatives!

First, Caoimhe played on a Meath Cumann na mBunscol team who played in an intercounty football blitz in St. Patrick's College, Drumcondra - and won it!

Finally, Grace and Leah played on the Meath Cumann na mBunscol representative team that participated in the camogie blitz in Portlaoise. They also did extremely well, defeating Laois, Kildare and Dublin.

Well done to all our GAA stars - we are very proud of them!

Girls Soccer Performances

The girls' soccer teams took part in the MDL soccer tournament on Tuesday 13th March.

Both teams performed admirably and had some great wins!

The sixth class team won two matches, with Caoimhe providing the firepower to go along with the great defending and teamwork from further back the field. Boyerstown were to prove their nemesis however, and in two tight games they ended Kildalkey's hopes. The girls can be very content with their day's work however!

The fifth class team started the day with a terrific win, Meadhbh and Ellen firing home the goals in a 3-1 win. Despite three more hardworking and energetic performances, the girls were unable to add to their wins column. 

Well done to both teams on their performances!
