Hurling League 2001
- 2002
The Hurling Year began last September
when the Coaches from the schools met together to decide on
fixtures and venues for the year.
There were five teams in the Peter
Newman League this year, Marino, Baldoyle, Scoil Mochua, C.R.C
and Sandymount. Every team played eight games during the year.
Points were awarded-3 for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for losing.
Sandymount played their eight
games and finished at the top of the table with eighteen points.
It was a great Achievment for all involved. This meant that
Sandymount had qualified for the final.

There was great excitement
around the school in the build up the Final. Pupils
made beautiful banners and signs. A Cheerleading team
was set up and could be heard practising at lunch time.
When the day arrived, everybody had dressed in red and
white and many had their faces painted. Breda, a special
needs assistant, made headbands for all.
"We practised for Cheerleading
about twice or three times a week.We sang songs about
the team and the team players.The cheerleading got everybody
singing, clapping and cheering.I think that the Cheerleading
team really helped the hurling teams.It was great fun."

Six buses left Sandymount and
headed to the Irish Wheelchair Association in Clontarf.Baldoyle
school came through a tough play off against CRC to qualify
for the final. We knew that we would have a difficult game
against this great team.
Eight minutes into the first half,
Baldoyle scored a goal. Despite many brilliant attempts from
Sandymount, this goal remained the only score of the match
and Baldoyle were the champions. We were very disappointed
and some tears were shed! However, it was a great League and
there is always next year.!!

" There
were lots of good games this year. My best game was against
Marino. We won 5 - 1. I think that the team has improved
during the year. Brian, the goalie got better at stopping
the ball and better at kicking the ball. We finished on
top of the table with 18 points." by Robert, team
captain |

" We trained for hurling
twice a week I think I have improved on my skills during
the year. I Am better at passing the ball. I think that
the game against Scoil Mochua was my best game because
they were easy to beat. Their defender was easy to get
around. I got four goals in that game.Sandymount school
got top of the table and I was delighted."

Clontarf. Five schools were taking part in the Blitz,

A great day was had by all!!
