There was some extra excitement in the school today when we had some of the Kilcormac Killoughey Senior Hurling Team visit the school today with the trophy. From everyone in the school we wish to extend a huge Congratulations on their ​third Offaly title win in a row against Shinrone. That is a pheromonal achievement for the parish. 

We welcomed three members of the team - whos names have been mentioned on a regular basis in the school and have become role models and influences on the children here in the school - James Mahon, and two past pupils, Charlie Mitchell and Daniel Hand. The children in the school look up to these lads and many others on the team (past pupils and local players). James, Charlie and Daniel spoke about the match, how determined they were to win and to work as a team to achieve this and answered many questions the children asked them. 

The influence of these Senior Team players has rubbed off on our children from winning their Cumman na mBunscol match during the week and some of our children played on the U12 Football team who won their match at the weekend in the Jerry Conway Memorial Tournament. The future of sport in Kilcormac Killoughey is looking really nright!

Thanks lads for coming to the school! 

A huge congratulations to the children in the Senior Room who were victorious over Gortnamona NS in the Cumann na mBunscol football final on Wednesday 22nd October in Birr. 

The children worked and trained hard to get to the final. From the blitz in the Faithful Fields where they played a number of matches and progressed to the semi-final and then on to win the final. Well done to the team and a big thank you and congrats to Ms. Flynn for putting in a lot of hard work championing the team along.

Also a big thank you to Tom Doolin for supplying the school with treats of chips, sausages and nuggets after the final! They went down a treat!
