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!

Hockey Blitz June 2023

Girls from 4th, 5th and 6th took part in a very enjoyable hockey blitz on the 15th June in the Clonakilty Sports Complex.
Girls and boys from Knockskeagh N.S. joined up with our girls and put on a wonderful show of hockey skills.
Well done to everyone involved!

We are looking forward to next year already!

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!

Girls from 4th, 5th and 6th have had the opportunity to practise their hockey skills with thanks to Múinteoir Orlaith and Múinteoir Anna.

A huge thank you to Clonakilty Sports Complex for use of their wonderful astro turf.


Sports Day 2023

We held our annual Sports Day on Tuesday 6th June in the astro turf. Our thanks to Clonakilty Sports Complex for their continued support to us in St. Joseph's...it is such a great facility to have on our doorstep.
We began the day with sprints, followed by fun circuits and finished off with very competitive relays.
Refreshments in the form of ice cream were well needed as it was so hot! Thank you to our wonderful Parent's Association for funding these.
A big thank you to Múinteoir Eileen for organising this wonderful day for the school.
