Dear Parents and Guardians / A Thuismitheoirí agus a Chaomhnóirí,

5-a-side Soccer Tournament

2 girls’ teams and 1 boys’ team competed in the FAI tournament in Abbotstown this week. The boys came across some stiff opposition but did themselves proud! The girls got through to the finals and were narrowly beaten. They scored 23 goals in 5 matches! Players of the Tournament on each team were Cathal in 6^th, John in 5^th and Jade in 4^th. This is our first time entering the competition and we’ll be a force to be reckoned with next year. Glasnevin abú!
