Congratulations to our fantastic football team on their historic achievement- winning our first ever Sciath Na Scol Final in Mallow recently. The 13 a side saw Bunnscoil play St Anne's, Charleville in a very competitive game with wonderful skills on display. A huge well done to Ms. O’Brien for leading the girls to success, and a special shout-out to the girls who gave their all today. We cannot forget their dedicated supporters who cheered our team from start to finish,their respect for the opposition was very evident, we were very proud of all our girls. It’s truly heartwarming to see such school spirit and camaraderie in Bunscoil today. Here’s to many more victories in the future, we certainly could get used to it!
