May 2013.
Kilmacrennan Boy’s were extremely unlucky in the blitz finals of the Cumann na mBunscol football that was played in Glenswilly recently. In the first game they met Creevy NS from Ballyshannon. This game ebbed and flowed throughout with our boys leading up until the last 3mins. However, a lucky break saw the Creevy boys won on a scoreline of 1-6 to 2-2. The lads were again unlucky to fall to a last minute goal in their second game against Whitecastle. However, the future looks bright with 10 of the squad available for selection next year.
The school soccer team won their opening game in the Letterkenny Schoolboy’s Cup when they defeated Gaelscoil Adhamhnáin, Letterkenny on a 2-0 scoreline at Lurgy Park, Kilmacrennan. They now progress to a quarter final meeting with Ramelton NS in the coming weeks.
Congratulations to our girls soccer team who retained the Fran Fields cup in soccer in Finn Park on Thurs last when they defeated Milford NS in the final on a scoreline of 1-0.
Congratulations to our athletics squad who travelled to Finn Valley recently and claimed 14 medals (5 gold and 9 silver). A truly outstanding achievement considering over 1300 children and 100 schools took part. The school also finished in 2nd place in the large schools section for the second year running which just goes to show what talent we have within our village.
