Here at Knockea school we are so proud of our 6th class pupil who played with the East Limerick Girl's Football Team this year. She lined out in the corner back position and played a stormer in both the semi-final and the final. It wasn't to be for the East Limerick Team on the night but what an incredible experience for all the players who took park to play in the final that took place in the Gaelic Grounds.
Congrats to our boys from 4th, 5th and 6th who won three of their four matches yesterday to reach the Mini 7s Football Final which will take place in Caherelly next Monday at 12pm.
Huge congratulations to this fantastic 6th class student who is part of the East Limerick girl's football squad. They played the West Team in the semi-final on Thursday 13th November and had a great win. She will play with her fantastic teammates in the Gaelic Grounds next Wednesday in the final. Maith thú! Best of luck to the team and to Ms Reilly who is a coach with the team.
What a day for Knockea! Massive congratulations to our boys in 5th and 6th class who had a fantasic win in the under 13s East Schools' Football Final. Great goals and points by Joe Kelly, Ryan O' Connell and Ronan O' Donnell were enough to see Knockea get over the line by two points. A special mention to the defensive effort in keeping out Crecora in the dying minutes also. It was great to see the lads get their rewards for all the hard work in training over the last month.
Well done to our football girls from 4th, 5th and 6th class who travelled to Doon on Thursday 9th October and competed in a football blitz against Doon, Lisnagry, Roxborough and Crecora. It was the first time going to the football blitz for some of our 4th class girls and they were fantastic. For our 6th class girls it was their last time playing in this competition and they left it all out on the pitch. Well done on your win against Crecora and best of luck to Lisnagry and Roxborough in the final. Our next girl's football outing will be the mini 7s competition after the midterm break. Keep an eye out for our photo in the next edition of the Green and White magazine!
It was fantastic for our boys from 4th class to play a challenge match v our friends in Roxborough this morning. It was a very sporting game full of superb skill on display and great scores taken. It was fantastic to see so much wonderful talent in the parish!
Huge well done to our super camogie girls from 4th, 5th and 6th class who took part in the Laurel Hill Secondary School camogie blitz on Friday 19th September. The girls won the division 4 final on the day and were thrilled to return to Knockea with the cup. It was our 4th class girls' first time representing their school playing camogie, some might say they might be our lucky charm after their big win. We also bumped into some familair faces on the day as some of our past pupils were helping out on the day. Well done everyone! Many thanks to Laurel Hill for organising such a wonderful event, and the girls were delighted to receive their new water bottles and some sweets at the end of the day.
