Our Book Fair

Our book fair took place from the 11^th to the 15^th of October. We had loads of great books! We had adventure books, spooky books, Irish books, fiction books, fact books, sporty books and many, many more. Even the Scottish author Johnny O’Brien visited the school. He talked to us about World War І and what inspired him to write.  Ms. Gohery and Mags co-ordinated all the events which were a great success!

Hurling Mini 7’s

On the 6^th of October Killeeneen took part in a seven a-side hurling competition in Clarinbridge GAA pitch. It was a dry and damp morning but it cleared as the day moved on. The first team we played was Gaelscoil de hÍde. Then we played Cregmore and made it to the final and met Clarinbridge. We won the final and now are through to the next round of the competition. Everybody played their heart out and it paid off. Sam Mc Ardle was captain on the brilliant day.

Please come along and support us in the next round because we are going for the double!!!

Camogie Mini 7s

On the 13^th of October Killeeneen N.S entered the 7 a-side camogie

competition in Clarinbridge.  It was a cold and foggy morning.

In our first game we played Kinvara and won on a score line of 4-5 to 0-0.  In the second match, which was the semi final, we played Northampton and won well. After winning both these games we got into the final in which we played Maree N.S. It was a tough match but we won well in the end. On the day the captain was Carrie Dolan. The County finals will be played in spring; hopefully we will bring home some silver ware!!!
