Under the expert eyes of their coaches, Mr Shanahan, Mr Kelly and Ms Gomez, the boys and girls u11 teams have hit the ground running in their respective divisions.

Both teams squared off against Moone NS last week and whilst both teams ended up in the losing side in their first ever games for the school, there is a lot of promise for the season ahead.

After a rocky start against Moone NS, the boys team came back with a stirring 2nd half performance. This laid the foundations for the next day against St Patrick’s NS where they registered St Catherine of Siena’s first ever victory with a brilliant 10 point win. In a great team display, Kai Sage, Kayley Cox, Evan Furlong & Conor O Reilly Guilfoyle were to the fore, with Brayden Griffths’ kick outs proving vital. A massive well done to all involved.

Our girls ended up on the wrong end of a thrilling encounter against Moone in their first game. In a game for the ages, 10 goals were shared between the two teams, with Moone coming out the victors by a couple of points. The game saw some outstanding displays with Lauren Williamson, Kayley Cox and Carly Gallagher putting in strong displays. A special mention is reserved for Jade Ibirogba who hit a brilliant 3-4 in the forward line! We look forward to seeing the girls building on a brilliant debut.

*A special word of thanks to Moorefield GAA for the use of their pitches for our home games.

A massive well done to all our wonderful pupils who were chosen as pupil of the month by their teachers for September.

It is a testament to the great attitude, work and behaviour on show in our school that all the teachers found it difficult to choose just one pupil!

A big well done to;
