Sports in School!
Hockey Team Visit
Members from Clonakilty Hockey Club visited St. Joseph's along with trophies that they won during the year.
Some of the players are past pupils of the school.
Lisa Kemp explained the game of hockey to the girls and told the girls all about their successes over the last few months.
I think we have some budding hockey players amongst our pupils after this visit!

Sciath na Scol Football Final 2023
A huge well done to our 5th and 6th class football team who took part in the Sciath na Scol Final.
The girls came up against St. Joseph's, Skibbereen.
The game was played in Ahamilla.
Unfortunately, it was not our day and we had to give way to a stronger Skibb side.
Our girls put on a great display of football, full of skill and determination.
Well done girls, we are very proud of you all!
