Connacht Athletics

Congratulations to all our athletes who competed at the outdoor Connacht Schools Athletics competition in Athlone last Friday. St Nathys was well represented in both track and field events , with athletes competing in javelin, shot put, long jump, 100m , 200m and 800m. We also had 4 relay teams Minor girls, Junior girls, Junior Boys and Intermediate Boys in the 4 x 100.

All of these athletes qualified from the South Connacht Regional competition in order to compete at this competition. We couldn't have been more proud of our athletes with all of them setting PBs and improving significantly on their qualifying times/distances.

Huge congratulations to Mila Clancy and Grace Henry who have both qualified to the All Ireland final, June 2nd and 3rd in Tullamore. Mila will compete in the Junior girls long jump and 200m. Grace will compete in the shot putt. Mila ran an exceptionally strong 200m race clocking in at 26.96, shaving almost a second off her qualifying time. Grace excelled under pressure after fouling her first two throws, she threw 7m 40 to secure 3rd place and to see her through to the all Irelands! This was almost a metre further than her qualifying distance, all down to her consistency and determination in training.

We had fantastic athletic displays from all our athletes but notably Evan Powell - Senior Boys 800m who ran 6 seconds faster than his qualifying time and setting a PB of 2.06. Meabh Lavin in her second ever 800m race, was up against two national champions and she held her own, coming in , in 4th place with an amazing time of 2.36, which was actually faster than the winning time of the Junior girls 800m!

Our relay teams provided us with a specatular display of team work, grit and determination! Our Minor girls team (Saerlaith Dillon, Rebecca Brett, Meabh Lavin, Lucia Mc Donnell) placed 3rd in a time of 57.11.
Junior girls team (Serena Hanly, Annie Mai Giblin, Tori Duffy, Mila Clancy, sub Sinead Morris ) placed 7th ,56.81 amongst a highly competitive field of teams.
Junior Boys (Uneeb Faraazi, Mohammad Younas, Sean Buckley, James Cassidy, Nathaniel Cooney 5th, 51.51 and Intermediate Boys, (Noah Phillips, Conor Kuksta, Gordon Casey, Bredas Pocius) 4th 48.35.
We also had Lee Mcgowan shot putt and Javelin, Tomas Buckley 800m and Javelin, Noah Phillips - shot put, Nathaniel Cooney ,Javelin.

We are extremely proud of our athletes what was for all but two their first experience at an outdoor Connacht Athletics competition.

Connaught Victory – U15

The St. Nathy’s College U15 team followed on from the success of the first year squad in a truly unbelievable game against a steadfast Colaiste Einde side from Salthill, Galway.

The game kicked off with the breeze but uphill for St. Nathy’s as Colaiste Einde applied consistent pressure in every area of the pitch for the first ten minutes. The central defence of Rebecca Doherty and Serena Hanley withstood the pressure alongside Siofra Haran and Eilidh Woods and ensured that it didn’t threaten the goal of Meabh Lavin. After those first few minutes the central midfield of Ava McGreal, Ellen Mitchell and Grace McDermott began to get more involved and thread passes through as they threatened the Einde defensive line. Mila Clancy, Tori Duffy and Leilah O’ Toole began to get more supply up front and in the 16th minute a certain shot was saved in the nick of time by the Einde goalkeeper, as Mila Clancy threatened the top right corner.

The first half was extremely tight between both sides and even with chances for both teams it concluded at 0-0. The halftime team talk was carefully co-ordinated by coaches Mr. Nealon and Mr. Creaton with more directive passing, communication and consistent pressure the main points addressed. The first half substitute of Shola Cuddy however proved vital in withstanding the early pressures of the Einde side in the second half. A second half shot from Tori Duffy was also saved and gave the Nathy’s side even more impetus to move on. Those movements forward were well marshalled by the Einde side and resulted in a break of play which ended with a corner in the 41st minute. After the ball was whipped in, the thorn of the Nathy’s defence, the Einde No. 9 slotted away a well taken headed into the left side of goal. This lead however did not last for long as within two minutes of conceding a breaking ball dropped for Mila Clancy who smashed it into the bottom left hand corner. The intense work rate of the entire team brought Nathy’s back into it quickly, however Tori Duffy’s never-say-die attitude in every second of play must be commended! The second half, like the first, was well balanced and fuelled with chances for either side and ended at a score line of 1-1.

The team talk at the culmination of normal time was fuelled by the players as much as management as all members of the squad made it abundantly clear that they wanted it more and knew it was within every one of them. After losing the toss Nathy’s absorbed a remarkable amount of pressure from the slightly downhill slope of the pitch, but due to the tireless work of the defensive line, especially that of Eilidh Woods who’s remarkable work effort earned her the player of the match award, the Nathy’s side ended the first half of extra time level. However, in the second, with the re-introduction of Tori Duffy and Mila Clancy Nathy’s applied endless pressure again with, in the 5th minute, a Clancy looping shot from the right drifting all the way into the top left corner. The determination of the squad to see it out ended the game with victory for the Nathy’s side and the Connacht Perpetual Division 3 title.

Mr. Nealon and Mr. Creaton are immensely proud of this squad for their perseverance all season. Special thanks must also be given to Willowbrook Glamping for their full sponsorship of the U15 squad

Connacht Champions !!

In an absolutely scintillating game, St. Nathy’s emerged victorious in the Connacht final of first year girls soccer. In their first season, the girls have ended the season undefeated in all aspects of competition. 

Within the first five minutes of play, Zoe McDonagh entered the box with eyes for goal and was brought down unceremoniously with a penalty given seconds after. With another goal to her tally, Mila Clancy slotted away a fantastic penalty to put us 1-0 up. 

The team endured a lot of pressure for 15 minutes, just conceding prior to half time to enter the break at 1-1.

Shortly after the resumption of play, Nathy’s won a free kick which was placed expertly in the most phenomenal of fashions by Aoibhinn Conway into the top right corner. 

Unfortunately, about seven minutes after a blind sided shot, Headford equalised for a second time. 

However in the last ten minutes, Nathy’s took hold and in a moment of magic Zoe McDonagh executed a perfect bicycle kick to ensure the lead. 

In the final moments Meabh Lavin and Siofra Haran secured victory as they worked tirelessly to avoid a 1 on 1 opportunity for Headford.

 

The girls have been a credit to the school in every manner, worked constantly, trained during the best and worst of weather but have given everything to this campaign and are most certainly well deserving Connacht champions today! Nathy’s Abú. Mr Creaton and Mr Nealon so proud of the squad in every manner!
