Our victorious boys football team had a surprise in store for them today. While the players were engaged in a post match discussion in the school hall, the rest of the students from junior infants to sixth class and their teachers lined up on the perimeter of the new football pitch.
When the team emerged, joint captains Luke and Michael holding the winning cup, led them on a lap of honour around the pitch, amid rapturous cheers and applause. All the students were excited to see and hold the cup in their hands and congratulate the players.
Afterwards, the young footballers stayed outside with the junior infant classes. They spent some time in the sunshine, playing games and having a penalty shoot-out with them.
