Over the years the Comp. has had very successful soccer teams and
very many talented players. A number of our past and present pupils are presently making
names for themselves at the higher level
Peter Rogers with Tranmere Rovers
Graham Conway with Bohemians
Clive Ross played for Ireland U16
against Israel recently and has a number of English clubs interested in him
Alan Kinsella played for Ireland
U-14 in a recent testimonial and was featured in a ''Prime Time'' television programme on
RTE television. He has had trials with a number of English clubs and spends many
weekends with these clubs
Congratulations and best wishes to
David Jenkins, 2.G, who has been selected to train with the Irish U-14 Soccer Squad.
David will join Alan Kinsella in the squad.
Shelbourne Coaching Programme
In January a soccer coaching programme with Tony O'Neill of Shelbourne F.C. started in the
Comprehensive School. Each of the school teams (U 13; U 15; U17) boys and
girls will receive eight coaching sessions. It is expected that this type of
professional coaching will build on the skills of the pupils and make our teams even more
successful.
U-15 Team News
What began as a promising season for the U15's ended disappointingly as we were beaten in
the third of the Cup and last 16 of the league.
Injuries and suspensions didn't help yet the players showed great skill and commitment
throughout. Alan Kinsella will pick up the Player of The Season Award with Clive
Ross a close second. Gareth Hoey also had a good season and is developing well into
a mature centre-half.
Congratulations and best wishes to
David Jenkins, 2.S, who has been selected to train with the Ireland U-14 Soccer Squad.
