The Junior Rugby squad played their first match in Div 3a of the league on Thursday, 18th October Vs Mountrath CS. Both sides were evenly matched, with a mix of both new and experienced players. For the first 20mins the CB boys were camped on the Mountrath line but were unable to score. This helped to build the confidence of the visitors who eventually broke away and scored in the corner. By half time the visitors were ahead 0-5. CB regrouped and settled themselves and with the help of one or two substitutions, they began to get the edge on Mountrath side. It wasn’t long before the first try came under the posts, which was converted. Shortly afterwardsthe home side scored again, bringing the tally to 14 -5. Mountrath was not out of it yet and scored an excellent try to bring the score to 14 -10. Coláiste Bhríde showed resolve with a final try in the corner, which was again converted. Mountrath packed on the pressure in the last few minutes bringing CB back into their own twenty-two but the Carnew team remained disciplined and steadfast to the final whistle, ending the game on a score line of 21-10.

Our French students and teachers arrived back home safely on Sunday evening; after a long day travelling, everyone went home delighted with their time spent in Ireland. The « lycéens » from Victor Hugo had indeed a very busy stay here. In school, they had a taste of our system of education for a couple of days, which always proves an interesting cultural experience for its numerous differences with the French system of education: from the uniforms, to the new subjects, the shorter days, the lunch break or the food, there is always material for engaging the students, both French and Irish. Apart from school, the magical scenery of Glendalough is always received with genuine enthusiasm; it is a special time for us all; despite its proximity, « the Spinc hike « is often a first for our students too. Everyone not only takes home vivid memories of the breathtaking views, but also all these unique features that the Garden of Ireland boasts. This year, our French counterparts spent two days exploring our capital’s most remarkable landmarks, such as Croke Park, Trinity College and Kilmainham Gaol. Along with it, they spent a few hours exploring the city, embracing Grafton Street, and enjoying O Connell street’s hustle and bustle. On Friday evening, a soirée hosted by one of our students reunited our 52 students around music and food. The activities for the weekend included museums, shopping, sports activities and plenty more. It was time to say good bye early on Sunday morning, but everyone is looking forward to our second part of the exchange in March, in the Loire region this time!

The junior girl’s football team played their 2nd match of the south Leinster competition against Colaiste Bhride Enniscorthy on October 15th. Having opened their campaign with a draw the girls knew nothing but a win would keep them on track for qualifying from the group. The Carnew girls started brightly but some good goal chances went abegging to leave the game tight at half time, 1-8 to 1-5. A purple patch midway through the 2nd half saw Carnew pull well clear of their opponents and some resolute defending ensured this remained the case until full time. The game finished 4-15 to 2-12 in favour of Carnew. Up next is a trip to Wexford to face Presentation College in another must win game. Well done girls.

The Mill Theatre in Dundrum yet again staged another impressive Shakespearean production. Our current 6th Years were treated to a unique and highly original version of ‘the Scottish play’. Students were transported to the eerie moors of Scotland where they witnessed the rise and fall of the newly crowned king. The infamous witches made their presence felt throughout, haunting both the characters and the audience with their spells and prophecies. Students and teachers alike enjoyed the production immensely.
