The school’s football season has concluded. It was short and very busy, intense and exciting! We encourage team sports in our school as they provide physical benefits like improved fitness and strength, and mental and emotional benefits such as reduced stress and anxiety. Team sports boost self-esteem, and increase life satisfaction. They also offer an opportunity for our boys to develop better communication skills, teamwork skills, and a sense of belonging and connection with others.
For the teachers involved in this year’s junior and senior Cumann na mBunscol football competitions, it took up quite a chunk of their personal time which they gave willingly for the boys – we thank them for this. We are lucky to have so many teachers happy to get involved.
The season was very enjoyable and worthwhile. That is down to the boys who turned up for every training session, were great team players even when finding a game tough or when not being first choice for the team.
Sometimes when arranging matches with other schools, the times, dates and venues can be very tricky to navigate. Many thanks to the parents for their co-operation and understanding here which has really helped make everything run well. The lifts and the laundering of the jerseys was greatly appreciated too.
