The U11 boys this week competed in a blitz, winning all 3 matches and qualifying for the next round in Semple Stadium on 20/21 June. Match 1: Ballylooby NS 3-02 v Newport NS 2-01; match 2: Ballylooby NS 2-01 v Gael Scoil 0-00; match 3: Ballylooby NS won by 6 goals v Monastery National School, Tipp Town.
All matches were very competitive with scorelines not reflecting the hard work, determination and fantastic skills the boys displayed. Congratulations to the U11 team.
This is the second school team to qualify for Semple Stadium with the U13s succeeding a couple of weeks ago. This is a huge achievement for the school and parish and the local club are very proud of all players. Well done and best of luck in the next round.
