Well done to the Senior Boys Gaa Team who overcame Carrigallon of Leitrim, on a scoreline of 1-20 to 0-14 on Monday 10th October.

Carrigallon got in charge of the game from the start with Ballymote finding the going difficult to get to terms with the oppositions strength. After the quater hour mark Coláiste Muire got going and started to get scores on the board. The first half finished all square at 0-9 a piece.

From the start of the second half it was Ballymote who took control of the game right through to the end. Ballymote’s fitness took over and Carrigallon couldn’t stop the runners from deep. Credit must go to all the team on their performance.

Ballymote now await the winners of Colaiste Iascaigh or Lough Allen. The final of the Sligo/Leitrim PPS D Competition will be played in the Dome in Connacht GAA COE Bekon, date and time TBC.

The 2nd year German class had a great trip to Sligo on 24th November to watch a German Film (Der Pfad - the path) in The Model Sligo. This was a great opportunity for students to be exposed to the subject in a fun way. The film itself was very interesting and thought provoking with links to history.  The students not only enjoyed the film but also the mandatory retail therapy time before the return train to Ballymote.

The senior boys got off to a great start in their first FAI connacht match beating Lacken Cross, Kilala 5-0 (07.10.2022)

The game was very even during the opening ten minutes with both teams missing two very good chances to go ahead. However, it was the home side that took the lead with Thomas Sweeney tapping in a goal from a lovely cross by Emmauel Oyewusi. From there Colaiste Muire started to move through the gears and got their second when Emmauel Oyewusi showed great composure and slotted home from close range. 

The game ebbed and flowed and Lacken missed a glorious chance to pull one back as the ball just went left of the target. Then, on the 41st miunute Luke Devaney hit a wonderful strike from outside the box which ended up in the bottom corner to leave the lads up 3-0 at half time. 

The second half started much the same with Colaiste Muire dominating the play and on the 51st minute Thomas Sweeney scored a brillant solo goal which put the lads up 4-0 and cruising. The final goal of the game came from great work down the left by Oisin Brennan who crossed the ball into the box for Luke Devaney to tap it in.  

It was a great effort by the lads who will now look forward to an away fixture Vs St Joseph’s, Charlestown next Friday.

Thanks to Ballymote Soccer club for the use of their facilities and Steve Cannon who kindly lined the pitch for the game today.  

A reminder that school finishes for all students at 3.40pm today to accommodate our 1st year Parent-Teacher Meeting.

Many thanks.
