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!

Girls victorious in quarter final

Well done to the girls' football team who won their quarter final today against Ashbourne Educate Together.

Starting with the win, the girls settled to the task well and roared into an early lead. A goal before half time from Larissa put them into a great position, with the half time score reading 1-5 to 0-2.

Goals in the second half from Orla, Larissa, Amelia and Sarah, couple with some great play out the field meant Kildalkey emerged victorious 5-7 to 1-5.

The girls can feel very proud of their performance and can look forward to the semi final!

Kildalkey - Senior Hurling Champions

David Conneely, Gary Kelly, Brín Kelly, James McNally, David Harmon, Mark Healy, Nicky Potterton, Paddy Conneely, Niall McNally, Martin Healy, Luke Rickard, Evan Fitzgerald, Conor Kearney, Brian Conneely, Matt Rickard, Martin Browne, Conor Fitzgerald, Ben Rickard and Tiarnán Bird all went through the school in recent years and the school is very proud of its past players.

Well done to Kildalkey and its management on its success.

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!
