Athletics – North Leinster schools cross country

Congratulations to all students who took part in the North Leinster schools cross country today in the Phoenix Park. Well done in particular to Eva Brennan, Aedin Davis & Áine Corcoran who qualified for the Leinster Finals as individuals by coming in the top 15 in their races.

Senior Gaelic Football Team

Hard luck to our Senior Gaelic Football team who last week lost out in the Leinster A semi-final to a very strong and eventual Leinster winning Moate Community School. Our girls battled well in the first half, playing against the elements and went in at half time only a goal behind, with the game very much in the balance. However Moate’s blanket defence proved to be too strong in the second half, despite the never-ending efforts of our girls. The younger girls on the team will no doubt learn from this and come back strong again next year. For the girls pictured it will be their last time putting on a Eureka jersey and we want to thank them for 6 great years of dedication and commitment to football in Eureka. Photographed here are the 6th year members of the team with their coach, Mr. Wright. Ciara Brady, Ellen O’Donoghue, Emily Jo White, Emma Henry, Seona Lynch, Susie Dolan, Áine Corcoran, Sarah Kerins, Erin Lynch, Emma McDonnell, Chloe Casserly.
