Boys and girls from second, third and fourth classes travelled to Stackallen National School for a gaelic football blitz this week to finish off their block of gaelic football coaching in St. Patrick's National School this year.

There were six games in total:

Slane 2nd class girls V Stackallen 2nd class girls

Slane/ Stackallen 3rd & 4th class girls V Slane/ Stackallen 3rd & 4th class girls (2 games)

Slane 2nd class boys V Stackallen 2nd class boys

Slane 3rd class boys V Stackallen 3rd class boys

Slane 4th class boys V Stackallen 4th class boys

Each game was 20 minutes in duration. No scores were kept as the emphasis was on fun and skill development.

A huge word of thanks to Rebekah Rafferty and Siobhán Downey, as well as other members of staff who hosted us and orgainised logistics on the day. They also had some treats for our pupils, which was a lovely touch.

Many thanks also to Niamh, Caoimhe and our two young coaches, who assisted on the day, as well as Ray our bus driver.

The children had a great morning.
