Our Senior Girls Gaelic Football Team did the school proud this year. Under the direction of Ms. Timmons and Ms. Callaghan the girls made it to the Connacht Final. The team played and were victorious over Davitt College, Castlebar in the Quarter Finals

and Dunmore Community School in the Semi- Finals in Charlestown. Sadly, on May 5th 2002 in the Finals the girls lost out to Scoil Mhuire, Ballinasloe, but it was a tightly played match and it was only in extra time that Scoil Mhuire got the upperhand and just about clenched the match!

The school had two buses of supporters up at the Finals and no-one was disappointed with the teams performance and effort. The girls played brillantly as a team and did themselves and their supporters proud.
