|
|
Gaelscoil Éanna have become the latest team to join Antrim Allianz
Cumann na mBunscol. Just opened five years and with pupils now in
primary 5, the boys and girls played their first match at the facilities
at Edmund Rice College . The primary 4 and 5 boys from Edmund Rice CBPS
were the visitors, and the children had a great afternoon playing
matches with each other.
Principal Maighréad NíChonghaile from Gaelscoil Éanna explained the
delight of the children at the prospect of getting regular matches. With
many of the children already playing with local GAA club St Enda’s, the
high level of skill was evident for all to see. |

During perfect conditions at Casement's GAC the girls from the local
school picked up the silverware for the sixth year in a row when they
won the Allianz Cumann Na mBunscol 7 a Side Camogie competition. A
tremendous achievement for the school and the local Geraldine's club.
The competition, organised on a league basis, saw some excellent Camogie
on display from all schools involved and provided the St. Mary's girls

All County Schools final to be held before the end of the year.

| Well done to all the young Antrim
footballers who took part in the half time game at the weekend
against their counterparts from Donegal. The talent on show was very
promising and hopefully some day some these young men will wear the
Antrim colours at senior level.
Well done to all the young Antrim hurlers
who took part in the half time game at the recent Leinster Senior
Championship game against Dublin. They will surely remember this day
for the rest of their lives playing in Croke Park. Lets hope they can
play again there in the future.

Pictures from the most
recent Annual Friendship Cumann na mBunscol Games
Some of the future
stars of Gaelic Games in Belfast and Dublin took to the field at
Casement Park on Friday 5th June, for a series of games sponsored by
Club Aontroma. This programme of games goes back to the 1930s and has
featured many children who have gone on to represent their respective
counties with distinction.
There were a sequence of competitive games with Dublin finishing on top
in camogie, hurling and girls’ football, with Belfast winning in boys’
football and handball.
The children were graced by the presence of the newly elected Lady
Mayoress of Belfast, Naomi Long, who presented medals and threw the
slíothar in to begin the hurling.
The pupils in this Cumann na mBunscol inner-city challenge displayed an
excellent array of skills and hopefully many will go on to represent
their counties in the future.
