Boys' Football Final

Well done to our boys who qualified for the Division Two football final last Thursday, 14th November.

Playing a formiddable team in Yellow Furze, the boys settled to the task well. Two quickfire goals from Eoghan and Cian put Kildalkey in the driving seat. A five point lead at half time put Kildalkey into a good position and when Dylan netted straight after half time, they were in the ascendancy. Points from Billy, Cian, Luke put the result beyond doubt and when Cian Mc fired home with ten minutes left, Kildalkey were going through!

The boys' final is against Oldcastle next Saturday in Páirc Tailteann at 1.00. All support is welcome!

Intel Mini Scientist Competition 2019

The Intel Mini Scientist competition took place last Friday, 15th November in Kildalkey!

The standard was extremely high and made life very difficult for the judges.

In the end, the boys from fourth class with their project on the effects of gaming came in 2nd place and the boys from 6th class came in first with their project on biomarkers.

Well done to all the participants and best of luck to the boys in the Leinster finals.

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.
