Pitch and Putt in All Ireland

Well done to Rory, Cian and Alan, and their coach Niall O’Loughlin, who did themselves and the school proud, qualifying for the All Ireland and finishing a very impressive 11th in the country. This was a great achievement, especially as it was the school’s first ever entry in this competition, so the boys are real trailblazers with this sport. It was also a great feat considering all other teams were senior students in their school, and our team were all junior school, with Alan being the only first year student playing.

The school is very grateful for the support received from Millstreet Pitch and Putt Club. This is a great local facility and we were extremely fortunate to have the use of the course for practice ahead of the Munster and All Ireland tournaments.

We hope to continue developing this sport in school, and intend to get the school golf teams up and running also with the inter-schools in the autumn.
