On Tuesday the 20th of January, our senior camogie team, linked with St Paul's, battled hard against Ballincollig, from Cork, at the Cappoquin pitch. The girls put all their effort into the match, but unfortunately it just was not enough to beat them on the day that was in it.
“The pitch conditions were terrible and nearly impossible to play on,” one student noted. There was flooding in certain areas of the pitch, and the girls were covered head to toe in mud by the end of the match.
The school is immensely proud of all the Pres and St Paul's girls who attended and played; from the first whistle all the way to the last whistle, the girls put in a massive effort to defend and to score.
Although the girls were behind going into the second half, they never gave up once and kept the spirit high! This may be the end of the senior camogie matches for this year, but next year they will come back even stronger!
On Monday the 26th of January, our junior camogie team, linked with St Paul's, fought extremely hard against Charleville at the Cappoquin pitch. The team showed great grit and determination, as due to the rain, half the pitch was flooded. The girls were drenched in mud after slipping all throughout the game.
We are so proud of all the girls who played their hearts out and secured their well-deserved win. The final score being 3:04 to 1:00 really highlights the girls' defending and scoring skills!
Our Pres camogie coaches, Ms Carton, Ms Bambrick and Mr O'Mahony, are extremely proud of the girls and played a really big part in helping them achieve this victory. The entire student body is so proud of the girls and their amazing achievement!
