Basketball By 2!

Our 1st and 2nd Year Boys Basketball teams had another surprise game on Thursday 10th March to wrap up the group stages. On this occasion we got to travel to play Grange Post Primary School. First up at 10.30 this morning were the 1st year Boys and they were rearing to go once the whistle was blown. There was another excellent display of team work and the ball was worked around the court in a cool and calm manner with each player defending and getting all the rebounds possible. There were some great scores from Oisin O’ Ragallaigh, Ewan Boland and Conor Walsh. Each quarter was full of suspense as the teams were neck and neck throughout but in the last quarter Conor Boyle stood up and scored an amazing 3 pointer with Colaiste Muire winning on a score-line of 19-18.  Next up was the 2nd Year Boys and this game was full of excitement from the beginning to the end. There were baskets being scored left, right and centre. Every man on the court was scoring baskets. Ciaran Connolly, Conor Hannon, Conor Dwyer, Peadar O’Dowd, Michael Cosgrove, James Lavin and Djoffy Donga all got their names on the score-sheet. The boys worked tirelessly during all 4 quarters with them winning outright on a score-line of 44-16. 

U-14 GAA Girls Success

Well done to our u14 Girls Gaelic Football team who, in tough conditions, played their first match of the year at home on Tuesday. After a tight opening quarter, the home side eased into the game with four points between the teams at half time. Goals win matches and this was certainly the case for this game. Quick goals in the second half sealed the victory, winning on a scoreline of 3.05 to 0.03.

Simply the Blitz!

Our first year boys got out to Cleveragh on Thursday 17th February for a 9-aside GAA blitz competition against schools across Sligo. Our boys won all four groups games before going to the final against a strong Summerhill outfit from the adjacent group. Our lads won out on a score line of 2-4 to 2-3 in a tightly contested game.

Oisín O'Raghallaigh won Player of the match for his defensive skills and quick transition to attack. Oisín received a jersey as a reward for his performance!

Credit must be given to all 14 players on the day for their efforts in all games working extremely well together as a team! The group all received a GAA ball as a token for their efforts and the school received a fabulous GAA training kit, courtesy of  @lidlireland.  This is our first sports outing since November and these lads did us proud today! Thank you one and all, including Mr Feeney who has been working with the lads each Friday after school! Your hard work has paid off! Thank you to Pat Kilcoyne who trains the boys on Friday afternoon and to Ms Greene for travelling today!

Soccer Star!

Congratulations to our 2nd year student, Lesley Ann Sweeney who played with the Irish U15 Soccer Team at the end of January in the National Academy.  Lesley Ann and her team mates stole the show with a 4-0 win against Northern Ireland.

1st year Boys GAA

1st year Boys GAA Blitz in Cleveragh 15th October 2021 - This was the students’ first game representing their school and they did themselves and Coláiste Muire proud. In total the boys played three games and won two matches, with excellent performances all throughout the panel.

Juvenile Game vs Summerhill - This was the first outing for the juvenile team for the year. The game ended 4-10 to 2-6 in favour of Summerhill. A game played in Ballymote, Summerhill started the game better of the two teams running into a 0-5 to 0-1 lead at the end of the first water break. Coláiste Muire fought back and started to work the ball through the hands up the pitch running the ball and finishing off with scores to bring the game to a tight margin. Both teams traded scores, with excellent goals and points on show.  Coláiste Muire fought back into the game and with the final ten minutes of the game the margin was 2 points lead to Summerhill. In the final 5 minutes, Summerhill pushed on and scored 2-2 to gain the advancement into the next round of the Sligo Schools competition.

Well done to all our players! Participating is key and you do us proud!

Juvenile Boys GAA

With an unbeaten run so far this year, the boys from Ballymote went forth once again into battles against their nearest rivals; Corran College. Pride and bragging rights at stake in this intense Derby game. Due to horrific weather conditions, some teams did not make the day but Coláiste Muire and Corran College locked horns to see who would return to the town victorious. Through torrential rain that attacked from the side and angry, vicious wind - the scenes looked like something from the eye of a storm. Despite all this, Coláiste Muire fought like warriors and communicated, passed and scored every point in the first half. The game was far from over, we knew our rivals would come out seeking revenge in the second half but Coláiste Muire were ready and we had some fresh new legs to come in and help carry the team. Final score Coláiste Muire 8-12 to 1-4. A proud team walked off the pitch with heads held high and modest in victory. Through to the next round - Mr. Brennan and his Juvenile Team march on undefeated. Well done all!

The U16 boys have been playing really well this season beating Grange by 1 point in their first away match of the season. The boys then faced a very strong Colaiste Ene, Bundoran side at home where they were beaten by a small margin of 12 points. The boys then took on St. Clare's Comprehensive Secondary school. Another strong side where they narrowly missed out of qualification for the cup. The U16 boys will now progress to the plate play offs which they are looking forward to. Well done to all involved.

After a very windy and rainy morning and afternoon, Coáliste Muire are coming back with their heads held high! 2 games played. Won the first and the second was intense!
