Teachers Vs Students Basketball

15 May 2018

As part of Positive Health Week a basketball match was organized between the teachers and departing 6th Yr students. While the game couldn’t be played last Friday due to the poor weather, we managed to play reschedule it for Tuesday lunchtime on the outdoor basketball courts. The intense rivalry has built up over the last few weeks with rumors of extra training on both sides. This certainly showed on court with the students getting off to a great start with some good early scores. However the teachers played some good defense and managed to turn the ball over and score to keep in touch. The lead changed hands on numerous occasions but in a fitting finale the teachers managed to score a last ditch basket to tie the game. A fair result to a highly competitive game played in a great team spirit. Thanks to all who participated and a special word of thanks to Ms.McGettrick who gave up her place on the team to referee the match. Teachers: Ms. Dermody, Ms. Loughnane, Ms. Murphy, Ms. Lancaster, Ms. Beirne, Ms. Lavelle, Mr. Douglas, Mr. Doyle, Mr. King, Mr. Davies, Mr. Hegarty.
