Last Friday evening, sixteen of our LC HL Maths students represented the school when they travelled to the annual Irish Maths Teachers Association "Team Maths Quiz". This regional heat was hosted by Coláiste Bríde, Enniscorthy. Schools from across Wexford and south Wicklow were represented in what was a hotly contested eight rounds of challenging questions based on the LC higher level Maths syllabus, all against the clock. At the conclusion, two of our teams ended in the very respectable position of joint third place (just two points behind the winning team from Gorey Community School), with the remaining two teams finishing very close behind. The students are to be commended for their enthusiasm and also for giving up their precious time on the weekend before their mock exams begin. Well done to Natasha Byrne, Eli Whelan, Charlotte Redmond, Ann-Marie Doyle, Sarah Bloor, Maria Byrne, Krystian Jacobczak, Shannon Whittle, Tara Dolan, EmerRose Kealy, Conor Byrne, Ruth Berney, Josh McGrath, Roisin Conroy, James Gregan and Curtis Keating.

Ms. Aoi Deegan has facilitated this new module with our TYs which has proved to be very popular since it's introduction. Students have had the opportunity to learn lots about Japanese culture, the Japanese writing system of Katakana and the art of origami as part of their Japanese module.

The 1st Yr Girls Basketball team played their first match of their South East league campaign against Colaiste Abbain Adamstown on Thursday in the school gym. The game was a tight affair throughout with neither side letting the other get too far ahead. At halftime it was still level. Adamstown took a 2 pt lead with one quarter left but through great teamwork and passing Carnew responded taking a 3 pt lead coming down the stretch. Adamstown scored next to leave just the bare minimum between the sides and with 20 secs left they scored the decisive basket to win it by 1 pt.

Coláiste Bhríde travelled to North Kildare RFC to play Maynooth Post Primary School in the quarter final of Leinster McMullen Shield on Wednesday 25th January. A good start was crucial especially after a long journey, and after a period of good possession CB scored the first try with a nice break from Robbie Brooks. Robbie also converted. The scoreline remained at 7-0 at half time and there wasn't much separating the two teams. Playing with the wind in the second half allowed CB to gain some good territory, and Seamus Tomkins broke from the base of a ruck to score a try, 12-0 to the visitors. The determined Maynooth players came back strongly and a converted try brought the scoreline to 12-7, creating a tense last 15 minutes to the game. Nevertheless, the CB defence was strong enough the keep the home side out and the score remained at 12-7 to Coláiste Bhríde. The senior rugby squad are now looking forward to the semi final against the winners of CBS Nass v Templeogue College in the coming weeks.

Junior Ladies Football Battle to Win

Thursday 19th January marked the first game of 2017 for Carnew girls' football. The junior team took on Loreto, Wexford in the quarter final of the south Leinster competition. As Carnew hosted the game the girls were determined to play with an intensity that would ensure a place in the semi final of the competition. From the first whistle it was clear to both spectators and those involved with both teams that this game would not be an easy one. The Wexford side battled hard and tested the Carnew defence for the majority of the first half of the game. Within the first ten minutes the Wexford girls managed to attain 2-3. There was a determinationin the Carnew girls that would not allow such a score to go unmatched. Lauren Byrne and Shanyn McLoughlin managed to deny the Wexford side 4 goals within a short period. Aishling Wintherbotham and Abby Doyle worked tirelessly in order to work with Carnew defence to bring the ball upto the attacking forwards. Many attempts at goals were unfortunately spoiled denying Aoibhinn Myers, Zoe Katus and Jade Shannon goals within the first half. When the whistle blew at half time Carnew was trailing behind by two points. During half time the girls spurred each other on, they took stock of what they had and noted what they needed to do. The girls were under no illusion, they knew that they needed to completely change their strategies in the second half in order to secure a win. The second whistle blowing marked a different fire and passion in the game. The Loreto girls managed to secure a goal quickly however, Aoibhinn Myers dominated the second half and the game was played on her terms as she managed to secure a number of goals while also working with a number of girls in order to see other players secure the ball into the back of the net. Zoe Katus and Aoibhinn Myers worked together to secure a total of 4 goals. Unfortunately both players suffered injuries in the second half. Spectacular play was demonstrated by Anna Lalor, Sophie Doran and Siobhan Mulhall who all came on during the second half. It is only just to note how close the game was throughout the second half, there was no clear winner until the final few minutes of the game. Carnew pulled away with a five point win over the Wexford side leaving the score at 4-7 to 3-5 when the final whistle blew. A real team effort was demonstrated by every player on the field as they worked together in order to secure the win. Lauren Byrne, Shanyn McLoughlin, Amanda Kidd, Aishling Wintherbotham, Abby Doyle, Aoibhinn Myers, Zoe Katus and Emma Tomkins were the stand out players of the game. Congratulations on the well deserved win girls, you really did deserve it. The semi final will be our next battle which we look forward to. It must be mentioned how determined and committed the girls have been all year as the team have moved from strength to strength all year. We would all like to say a sincere thank you to all those who attended the match in support and would welcome any support at matches for the final stages of all competitions. Well done girls, I am very proud of you all! Ms Whelan.
