HALLOWEEN: We are “dressing up” again for Halloween this year on Friday October 23rd. As in previous years we are asking for a contribution of €2 per child or €3 per family. Any funds raised will go to charity. No masks please and no “one piece” costumes for infants!!
FOOTBALL: The girls completed their matches last Friday in Portarlington. Playing a division 1 this year was a challenge but a great experience to be playing at the highest level.
