2nd and 3rd Class football league in Tullamore.

This week saw Scoil Bhríde Primary School boys play in the schools first ever football blitz. Scoil Bhríde picked a team of second and third class boys to compete against the third and fourth class children from around the county. This age gap didn’t seem to bother our boys however, as they put on an excellent display of football and showed an admirable amount of discipline. Tullamore Town Football Club hosted the event which took place on their astro-turf pitches.
Scoil Bhríde got off to a flying start against Clara with scores coming from Adam 
McGlade, Joe Bergin, Jim Bergin and Séan Mustapha, while Robbie Rolandi and Mark O’ 
Leary stood like a brick wall in the line of defence. Gavin Kelly, Jake Connolly, Jason McNamara, Stephen Davey and Aleksss Dinsbergs all played a vital role as they freshened up the side. However the final two minutes saw the tides turn when Clara managed to slot away two goals, enough for them to take home the victory and beat Scoil Bhríde by one single point.
The next match saw Scoil Bhríde play Gaelscoil an Eiscir Riada. Scoil Bhríde began with much the same style and charisma as they did in the first game. Joe Bergin slotted in a couple of early goals, however it was the solid hands of Jacob ‘Kuba’ Golack that drove the Edenderry side on. Goals and points came sailing between the Gaelscoil posts from all angles, as Jack Hooper hit one of the scores of the match. There was no doubt that Scoil Bhríde were the better side and they proved this on the day.
Scoil Colm Poil would prove to be Scoil Bhrídes toughest opponents, however the sides traded scores for almost the whole match. Gavin Kelly came on to put away an inspirational goal, but even this was not enough to put away the home side. Scoil Bhríde narrowly missed out on the victory.
An enjoyable day was had by both teachers and children attending the blitz. We would like to thank the second and third class of Scoil Bhríde for their excellent behaviour on the day. The referees were very impressed that the discipline that the school showed on and off the field. We would like to thank Alan Mulhall for all his efforts in organising the blitz and we would also like to thank all the boys and girls who are playing on the lunchtime league. During the year all of these children will get a chance to shine and hopefully represent the school in more football competitions.
Mr. O’ Regan and Mr. Spain
