Students enjoy trip to the Wild Atlantic Way
Transition Year students from Patrician Presentation Secondary enjoyed a three-day visit last week to the Delphi Outdoor Pursuit Centre near the Killary Fjord in Co. Mayo. The group of 18 pupils were accompanied by teachers Ms Y. Murphy and Ms M.A. Fogarty. While in Delphi, the group took part in many activities ranging from canoeing to adventure walks where the pupils enjoyed the spectacular Delphi Valley and the beaches in the area. The pupils worked in teams to help them become confident leaders and better team players. The trip also aimed to encourage the pupils to discover an inner courage and a sense of adventure. This introduction to this part of Ireland was appreciated by all the students and we hope that it built new friendships and nurtured confidence in the group.

Fethard U12 Girls had the most amazing time last Saturday, at the Aviva All Ireland Mini Rugby Festival. It was a huge honour for our players and Club to be chosen from Munster as representatives at last Saturday’s exciting Aviva All Ireland Mini Rugby Festival held in the Aviva Stadium. Our girls played four wonderful games against teams from Leinster, Ulster and Connaught along with The Kerry Girls. The festival was so well organised and the atmosphere was electric. The day also involved a tour of the stadium which was an incredible experience.

Special mention to our joint captains, Verona Madigan, at out half who was one of our top try scorers with excellent speed and great tackler in all the games; and Katie Clancy Quirke, who got stuck in throughout and stepped up to lead. Lily Murphy yet again was superb at scrum half, and the break down and continued to sweep up loose balls. Ciara Donald Besso was extremely strong in the line outs. Millie O’Halloran took plenty of balls on to make ground and worked well with Jamie Ferncombe whose tenacity resulted in a number of tries scored by herself and set up for team mates.

Alice Sheehan Walsh was dynamite in tight spots off-loading with quick hands. Improving Amy Costin was strong throughout with good tackling. A strong and consistent performance by Zoë Prout, as always in defence, kept the opposition at bay, by strong tackling with great ball turnovers on all four games. Speedy winger Aoife Byrne was super with the ball out wide to great effect. In the Center, Áine Connolly was a huge asset and not only scored lots of tries but showed tremendous speed and worked well with tough tackler Emmaleigh Cuddihy who was consistently supporting her team mates to revive the offloads. The girls were a credit to their club and their families and should be commended on their progression this season.

We would like to thank Aviva, the IRFU and Munster Women’s Rugby who have supported this wonderful festival. Furthermore, thank you to Gus Wallace Travel for all the first-class service this season for our outings around Munster and further afield.
