Many congratulations to our two soccer teams, both of whom competed in a 7-a-side tournament at Youth Sport in Omagh today. Both teams did our school proud, competing against teams from lots of other local schools, including St Conor's, St Mary's Killyclogher, Sacred Heart Tattyreagh and Christ the King, to name but a few.
All teams were given names of different countries and it was our P6/7 team, playing as Canada, who won the overall competition, going undefeated throughout the tournament. There were many standout performances, particularly from our captain, Tom Barrett, who scored some amazing goals, but all players played their part in returning home as champions with the coveted shield.
Our P5/6 team, playing as Chile, also did fantastically well, competing against children much older and stronger than them. The boys performed valiantly, picking up valuable experience and will return next year much bigger and more confident.
A special word of congratulations must go to our two managers- Miss Haughey and Shannon, both of whom cajoled, organised and encouraged from the sidelines.
Congratulations also to all the players for their excellent sportsmanship, manners and respect throughout the tournament.
Finally, our thanks must also go to the parents who very kindly helped with transport to and from the tournament.
