Over the past few weeks there has been great excitement at lunchtime as running alongside the soccer tournament there was a pool tournament. The starting 32 students were whittled down to the final 4, Dean, Conor, Brandon and Patrick. After Conor and Brandon lost out in the two semi-finals it was an all 2nd year final between Dean and Patrick. The final was the best of 3 matches but it finished after 2 when Patrick won both games.
Dean, Patrick and Conor were presented with their prizes by Mr Dolan.
Many Thanks to Mr P Dolan for organising and overseeing the event.
After nearly 3 weeks of matches, today saw the exciting final of the 1st ever St Nathy’s Soccer Tournament. Team 11 emerged victorious with a final score of 5-3. The winning team shared the top prize of €105 and the runners-up shared €35.
Thanks to LC students Kamil and Zain for their excellent work in setting up and running the event. Thanks also to Mr Maye & Mr Creaton who reffed many of the matches.
We look forward to running another competition in the Spring!
