On Wednesday and Monday last the first and second year girls basketball teams took to the gym again to take on Elphin and Coláiste Iascaigh in the next round of the North West Regional league. The girls put on a wonderful performance and played some great basketball. With both teams getting two wins from two they now take on the Mercy on Monday 10th of March. The girls are hoping to continue their winning streak that will see them qualify for regional play offs. Well done to all involved. 

CMBM 6 - 0 CCC

The U15 girls had their Quarter-Final Vs Clifden Community College, Galway today (27.02.2025) in Castlebar. 

After a long break from their previous game the girls picked up where they left and started the game very strongly, two quick goals in the first 10 minutes by Teagan Fallon & Kira Hutichson had settled any pre-match nerves.  The game was dominated by CMBM and just before halftime Cora Flannery slotted home the third goal to leave us in a comfortable position.

The second half Clifden did well and held out some great attacking play but with constant pressure Oliva Faniska curled a lovely effort into the top corner to leave it at 4-0.  Our fifth goal came from the boot of Kira Hutchinson again who put in a great performace throughout.  Clifden missed a few chnaces with Emily Murrin minding the sticks well. Then just before full-time Teagon Fallon broke through to score her second of the day and cap off a great team and individual performarnce. 

The girls now progress on to the Connacht Semi-final in a few weeks time, a great achievment from this young and taleneted team but they will be looking to go one step further and reach a final in their first year in this cup.  

Thanks to Castlebar Celtic for the use of their impressive facilities for the game. 

On Monday the 10th of February the U14 girls Gaelic team took to the pitch in Ballymote for the third game of the Connaught Schools Leage. With two defeats behind them the Coláiste Muire girls were determined to make this third game a win. Having come up against St. Attractas in the first round and missing out narrowly on the win, the seconod game proved a challenge to overcome against the Mercy Sligo. This girls in true Coláiste Muire style came out in fighting force and most certainly brought their A game to Enniscrone on Monday. It was point for point and goal for goal the entire game which led to a draw in the end. The girls are looking forward to getting another training session in before the last game in the league after midterm against Coola Post Primary. Well done to all the girls involved. 

On Tuesday the 1st and 2nd year girls travelled to Grange to take part in the first round of the North West Regional competition. The girls played very well with a great display of team work. The first years took to the court first and made some lovely baskets to take an early lead. Grange were never too far behind while made for a nail biting finish but thankfully the Coláiste Muire girls hung on to the lead and came out on top. The 2nd year girls were inspired from the win and took the lead from the get go. It took the first quarter for the girls to settle into the game and once the found their rythm there was no stopping them. Well done to all involved and best of luck in the next round. 

The U16 basketball girls travelled to the Aura in Letterkenny on Monday 13th of January to compete in the North West Regional Basketball finals. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be on the day. The team consists of 18 3rd year girls and had the support of many of their classmates on Monday which meant so much to the girls. Despite the great support and hard work and dedication the Donegal side came out on top by 7 points. The girls were chasing the game from the get go and just couldn't pull it back. This was the first deafeat the girls had since starting their basketball journey over a year and a half ago which is an amazing achievement. Ms O Malley has loved working with this bunch of girls and is very excited to see what next season holds for them. Congratulations to all 18 girls on the panel. 

CMBM 1 - 1 Glenamaddy (5-4 pens) 

The lads had their Connacht FAI Quarter-final on Thursday 19th against Glenamaddy of Galway. 

The game was played in a spirtited yet competitive manner in Ballisadare FC. 

Like the last two games, our lads played outstanding football at times but just failed to captalise on chances in front of goal. 

It's a tuff pill to swallon for this great footballing but no doubt they will dust themselves down and go on to achieve more glory in the coming years. 

Best of luck to Glenamaddy in the Semi-final from all at Colaiste Muire. 

On Wednesday 18th of Decmeber 13 of our students travelled to Sligo Sports Complex to take part in this years Schools Rwoing Blitz which was run by Sligo Sports Partnership along with the Sligo Rowing Club. Clashing with our Carol service led to some students not being able to do both however we have no doubt later in the year we will run our own schools blitz as the interest from the students is most certainly there. Despite our students travelling with the intention of having fun and taking part there was numerous medals won along the way. Sarah Walsh placing first in the U18 girls category, Darragh Colsh placing 2nd and Kevin Devanarayana placing 3rd in U18 boys category and Claire Walsh placing first in the U16 girls with Emily Muirrin placing 3rd in the U16 category also. Our U16 girls, U18 Boys and our Mixed team took home gold in all three categories. This was a fantastic achievement for all our students and we are very proud of all our students for taking part in this fantastic event. Take a look through our gallery at some of the rowing that took place. 

Please see attached the December Guidance Newsletter.  Wishing you all a happy healthy Christmas and every good wish for 2025.
