Girls Football
Leagues - round up
Nineteen teams battled it out for the last three months to decide the
destination of the Girls League trophies and as ever the standard of
football on display was excellent. The popularity of Girls Gaelic
football is continuing to grow and this was the largest number of teams
ever to have competed and they didn’t disappoint, this reflects the
Cumann na mBunscol emphasis on participation and the spirit in which the
matches were played was a credit to all participating schools. In
section A the league reached its climax with two unbeaten teams, St
Anne’s and the holders St Kieran’s meeting to decide the destination of
the title. A fantastic tussle ensued that ebbed and flowed throughout.
The children demonstrated all that is good in the game culminating in
some superb passing and wonderful scores. At the end it was St Anne’s
who came out on top which meant a new name on the cup. In section B it
was Bunscoil Phobal Feirste who were victorious, proving too powerful
for all opposition and remaining unbeaten throughout.

A Champion Day in Ballycastle
On the occasion of the official opening of McQuillan GAC’s new pitches and clubrooms All-Ireland

GAA President, Nicky Brennan (far-right), officiated at the ceremony and at half-time presented

and Ballycastle Camogie Club), Daniel McKeague (St Patrick's Primary School annd McQuillan's

the fields of North Antrim - and so they will have great memories of seeing their heroes at very
close quarters.

Welcome to a revamped Cumann -na
mBunscol Aontroim website
that will be accessible by the teachers and pupils of the schools we
both serve and represent. We will update the site with results
which will enable schools to monitor their own progress.
We will endeavour to
make the site as user friendly as possible. Any suggestions to
improve the site are most welcome. Our Mission
In Antrim we
have a thriving and vibrant Cumann which serves almost 70 primary
schools in the county. The Cumann exists through the hard work
and efforts of teachers past and present, to ensure Gaelic sports
flourishes in the county. We want boys and
girls to participate in the full range of Gaelic games and hopefully
through our work, to enjoy the competitive yet fun aspect of sport,
to realise their own sporting potential and enjoy the honour of
representing their schools in the leagues and in inter-county
matches.
Hopefully through the
work of Cumann na mBunscol Aontroim, we
are sowing the seeds for future county successes.
