BASKETBALL HITS GONZAGA!!
Two months ago Bryan McCullough, Kevin Quinlan and Darragh Taylor pitched their idea of a school basketball team to an enthusiastic Mr Potts. With help from the Board of Management and the Fifth Year Parents training was able to start almost immediately.
Training sessions are taken once a week on Tuesdays by David Quinlan and have so far proved very successful. We hope to be playing competitively by the start of next season but in the meantime friendly games will be organised for some much needed match practice!!
Congratulations to John Wade (Sen 2A) on winning First Prize in the Senior Poetry feis at the Dún Laoghaire Youth Drama Festival with The Day I got my Finger stuck up my Nose by Brian Patten.

The Gonzaga Senior Chess team of Peter Hayes (Capt), Mark McGovern, David Murray, Daniel Lynch and Tony Naughton are Leinster Senior Champions for 2002. This is the sixth year in a row and for the sixteenth time in the last seventeen years that Gonzaga holds this title. They will represent Leinster and defend their All-Ireland title in Cork in May.
