2024/25 Transition Year Programme
The 6th Year PTM was originally scheduled for Tuesday October 8th. However, the staff and myself agree that it would be better to hold that after the November pre-mocks when teachers will have results to discuss from a major exam. Therefore, we are switching the dates for the 3rd year PTM with the 6th year PTM. Please take note of all the PTM's for the coming school year below. They are also updated on our VSware calendar and the App Calendar here.
October 8th 3rd years
October 22nd 2nd years
6th November 5th & TY
4th December 6th years
21st January 1st years
All meetings take place from 4.15 pm until 6.45 pm. Classes end at 3.45 on those afternoons.
Match Report: 2nd Year S Leinster Semi-Final
St Mary’s CBS 1-10, Wexford CBS 2-6
In a thrilling contest under wet conditions, St Mary’s CBS edged past Wexford CBS in a nail-biter. Wexford’s physicality and skill kept the game tight, with never more than a kick between the sides. Rory Kennedy’s heroics in goal and a rock-solid defense anchored St Mary’s effort. A superbly worked goal by Eoin Fitzpatrick, set up by Culainn McEvoy, gave them the edge. The second half saw point-for-point action, but St Mary’s held strong in the dying moments to secure their place in the final.
They now play St Kierans Friday 29th of November. CBS Abu!
