Singing at the Christmas market
Ms O Riordan was so proud of the choir who sang beautifully at the Ballyneety Christmas market on Sunday 30th November !

East Limerick Final at the Gaelic Grounds
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.

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.

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.

Camogie Cup Winners
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.
