Milltownpass National School
Sport
The school competes in the Comortas na mBunscoil Gaelic Football
championship in Westmeath in the 9-a-side competition. This competition is
open to all 3 teacher mixed schools and 2 teacher boys schools. Last
year(1999) the school were beaten finalists in this competition. The
picture on the left is the squad of players for the final. We also compete
in a winter league.
The school in conjunction with the local Community Games organises a
rounders team. The highlight to date has seen the team win all-Ireland
bronze medals in 1998, after winning both Westmeath and Leinster. This is
the photo on the right.
The school encourages participation in P.E. and school teams and
recognises the benifits of sport for the children in terms of their health
and well being and also in terms of their overall development and
education.
