3rd Class Team

4th Class Team

Congratulations to both 3rd and 4th class Indoor Hurling Teams on their outstanding performances recently in the Sciath na Scol Indoor Blitz competitions. 3rd class travelled to Riverstick for their first outing representing their school. Tough competition came from 4 other teams. They played really well improving in every game they played.
4th Class travelled to Ovens. In a 7 team competition against extremely strong opposition they played exceptionally well making it all the way to the final.
Both teams have done their school very proud and we look forward to seeing them represent SPN in the future

4th Class took part in an FAI organised blitz on Friday 12th March. 9 teams from West Cork took part on the day. There was an extremely high standard of football played. All boys in 4th class got an opportunity to play. We would like to congratulate the Scoil Phádraig Naofa team who won the Blitz outright and also pay tribute to our other team which finished 3rd.

A group of fervent Cork City Football Club Supporters pictured with Geraldine Fitzgeralds wonderfully carved "City 'til I Die" pumpkin. They were all very optimistic about citys chances of promotion and were right to be as the won promotion to the premier division and took the title after a great win over Shelbourne. Ms Lordan (pictured) made the trip up to cheer on the rebel side.

Congratulations to Bandon who recently soared to victory over a much fancied Fr. O’Neill’s team to re-gain the Intermediate Hurling county title for the first time in 37 years. The scoreline was Bandon 2-14, Fr O'Neills 0-07.
The most of the team many of whom were past pupils visited the school with the cup the following day. They had great words of encouragment for the future hurling stars.
