Seachtain na Gaeilge

There were lots of activities during last week to mark Seachtain na Gaeilge.

Students enjoyed a chéile in the PE hall with lots of traditional Irish music along with a quiz as Gaeilge with the help of the LC mentors. The week drew to a close with a non uniform day and students donned all shades of green to mark Flag Day on the eve of St Patrick’s Day. Some of our students went all out to show their pride in wearing the green and didn’t settle for just a green jersey, St Patrick himself made an appearance. This non uniform day was organised by the TY students and the funds raised were shared between the Red Cross and the TY Fashion Show that takes place on April 20th.

Chess Tournament

On Tuesday March 3rd a team of students from St.Nathy’s College headed to the Ardilaun Hotel in Galway City to take part in the Connaught Cup. This prestigious tournament hasn't been held since 2019 due to the Covid pandemic. For all of the students taking part it was their first experience of this kind of tournament. The first team comprising Joey Geever, Lorcan Sampey, Gerard Cummins, Flynn Thompson, Henry Black and Ryan Geever performed admirably in the main tournament, winning more than half of their matches with Ryan winning an individual award for his great performance. In the secondary Novice Cup all of our students- Aaron Collins, Aaron Dooney, Henry Lowry, Felipe Bezzerra, Niamh Grady, Roisin Morris, Daniel Anderson and Aaron O'Toole- won at least two games each. Well done to all students involved and to their Teacher, Ms Brunker on organising and preparing the students for the competition with the help of Mr Brady. For any student interested in joining the Chess Club to play or to learn can find out more every Wednesday lunchtime in room 6B. Players of all levels are welcome!

All Ireland Cross Country

A huge congratulations to our senior Boys cross country team who competed in the schools all Ireland finals this past weekend on the grounds of  SETU ,Waterford. The course was extremely tough. The boys ran an unforgiving, 6km race. 4,1.5km laps of a gruesome muddy field with a very steep incline followed by a slow steady  ascent, before dropping downhill to slightly flatter part with what seemed liked never ending turns! The lads held their own in a field of outstanding experienced cross country runners . (Including Jonas Stafford  a European silver medalist, fresh back from competing in Turin on the U20 Irish team!) It was fantastic to have the green and white singlets of St Nathy's in the mix . This was the first ever cross country season for our athletes , and what a fantastic season it was to reach and compete in the all Ireland’s!! Each  of our team members - Jack Dodd, Kieran Taheny , Evan Powell, Maitiu Lavin and Martin Grady ran exceptionally well, they left nothing absolutely nothing behind ! The whole school community is so proud and impressed with your display of resilience and inspiring  efforts.

1st Year Girls Basketball

Commiserations to our 1st Year Girls Basketball Team who lost the Regional Semi Final to Colaiste Bhaile Chlair on Friday, March 10th.
It was very much a case of the best team losing. Our girls created far greater scoring opportunities than their opponents, but luck was not to be on their side. Their defence was equally as good, making it difficult for CBC to get their scores.
This is an exceptional group of players, many of whom represent our school across many different sports. For the majority of the squad, this is their first experience of playing competitive basketball. To reach a Semi Final in Division B in their first year of playing the sport is no mean feat.
Well done to you all!
Back Row: Hazel Phillips, Niayesh Karimi, Mila Clancy, Rebecca Brett (C), Grace Henry (VC), Ava Horgan, Meabh Lavin
Front Row: Ava Dooney, Siofra Haran, Aoibhinn Conway, Saerlaith Dillon, Lucia McDonnell, Zoe McDonagh, Molly Mai Morrisroe (Absent)
Coach: Mr. Mulderrig
