Our TY Sports Studies students have been keeping busy and are continuing to take part in the G.A.A. Future Leaders Programme from home.
The “Future Leaders Transition Year Programme” is a joint initiative from the G.A.A. and the Professional Development Service for Teachers (PDST).
The programme is comprised of a series of modules designed to encourage maturity, initiative, responsibility and leadership skills in pupils and gives pupils the knowledge and skills to support all roles required in the effective staging of Gaelic Games.
As part of the Programme students are challenged to organise and run events for younger students, but as this isn’t possible at the moment they have focused their energies on producing training videos and posting them on Twitter and Instagram.
These videos and the challenges and assignments they are completing via Google Classroom will go towards their Future Leader certification.
Well done to them all for showing great spirit and enthusiasm!
Well done to our 5th Year student Thomas Otway.
Thomas is a keen rower and has been making the most of his time at home by continuing his training and taking part in On-Shore races.
He took part in the Second On-Shore International Virtual Race organised by Olderfleet Rowing Club and came 2nd in the Men’s Under 18 Solo representing his club, Kilmacsimon.
Brilliant acheivement Thomas!
Congratulations from all in C.S.N.
A Fantastic win after extra time on a scoreline of 2-24 to 0-22 for our Senior Hurlers against Coachford College.
They are through to the semi final of the Cork Colleges “B” competition which will take place in January.
C.S.N. were a man down after 15mins but managed to hold the game to a draw and pulled away in extra time.
An incredible team performance overall with Evan Cullinane scoring a personal tally of 1-18.
Mr Canty has called training on Christmas Day @ 9.00am!!
Six of our senior soccer players were chosen to represent C.S.N. on a Presentation Brothers Schools Trust team.
They joined players from Presentation Brothers College and Coláiste Mhuire Cobh to play against the U.C.C. Freshers team.
Well done to Kevin Delaney, Adam Bruton, Jason Riordan, Kian O Sullivan, Kyle Donovan and Wymin Sivakumar.
After the game Adam Bruton, Kevin Delaney and Kyle Donovan took the opportunity to launch the new C.S.N. Senior and U17 Home, Away and Goalkeeper jerseys.
Our U16 hurlers had a great 1-15 to 1-10 victory in the Cork Colleges Championship against Youghal in the Glen today.
Earlier this week our Senior Footballers recorded a 3.11 to 3.10 win against Skibbereen in a challenge game to prepare for their upcoming Munster Championship.
Well done to all the players and mentors of both teams.
Our First Year classes have been taking part in the Hurling League since the middle of September and the final was played on the 1st October.
The two teams in the final were N. Finín & N. Ronán.
The first half was low scoring but both teams produced some fantastic scores in the second half.
N. Finín were crowned 1st year Hurling Champions on a scoreline of 2-02 to 1-04
Thank you to Mr Walsh and our T.Y. Future Leaders students for organising, managing and officiating at all of the games.
N. Finín will be hoping to complete the double when the 1st year Football League starts shortly.
Recently crowned All Ireland Champions with the Cork Minor Footballers, Nathan Gough and selector Mick Hannon visited us on Tuesday 10th September with the All Ireland trophy.
We were honoured to have the All Ireland trophy back in C.S.N after 19 years.
Nathan and Mick both spoke of the huge commitment given individually and as a team in order to achieve this success. They also spoke of the physical and mental resolve needed to achieve this. It is a fantastic achievement.
Nathan has had a very successful 18 months winning Munster Colleges u16.5 and U16 Cork County College football championship medals in 2018. He also added a Munster schools u17 and Cork Cup soccer double recently again with the school.
Congratulations to Nathan, his family and his club and thank you for sharing this moment with us.
We hope that some of our future footballers will have the cup back for another visit in the coming years!!
On Thursday 16th May, our U17 team played Coláiste Mhuire, Cobh in St. Colman’s Park Cobh.
In the first half, C.S.N. played some lovely football without breaking down an organised and defensive Cobh side.
The breakthrough came in the second half. Finn Stevens played a pass to Cian Connolly in midfield. Cian’s pass found Wymin Sivakumar on the right wing. His excellent cross to the far post was met by Andrew McElligott who headed back towards goal and Michael Quirke scored with a terrific finish to send both the supporters and the C.S.N. bench wild with delight.
C.S.N. saw the game out after that and emerged victorious.
This was the perfect end to a great season which saw this panel bring off a unique Munster and Cork double.
Well done to a great group of lads whose commitment and loyalty to the school and to each other has been incredible. Their team spirit and “never say die” attitude was evident in every game.
Congratulations and Thank You to the team coaches Mr. K. O’Mahony, Mr. G. Burke & Mr. D. Davis
A special word of thanks to the C.S.N. supporters who created a great atmosphere at both finals. Chants of “Shoes Off for C.S.N.” were to be heard!
The final of this years’ First Year Championship between N. Seosamh and N. Proinsias was a very competitive game played in a great spirit and provided good entertainment for the spectators. N. Seosamh, led by their captain Seán Connolly emerged victorious on the day.
Well done to all five classes and their captains for a very enjoyable competition. The standard of football was excellent in each game.
A special word of thanks to the Transition Year students who gave of their time to act as match organisers, referees, linesmen and mentors. They did a superb job and typified the great spirit in our school.
The First year shield and medals will be formally presented on Awards Day.

Mr. D. Davis.
The much anticipated Teacher’s Cup has drawn to a close for another year.
‘Surprisingly’ the teachers survived the group stages to reach the final where they faced ‘The Brady Bunch’ lead by Matt Brady (Peter Delaney, Gearoid Murphy, Conchur O’ Herlihy, Anjan Amin, Tiernan Butler, Matthew McCarthy).
The match ended on a scoreline of 10 – 2 to the teachers.
The “Golden Boot” award will have to go to A. Seymour who scored 7 goals (controversy over one of the goals and whether it actually hit the side netting), 2 for G. Burke and 1 for S. Lenihan on his return from injury.
Matt Brady and Gearoid Murphy were on target for the students.
The last line of defence, N. Brett, proved tough to beat. It always helps when the goalie (K. O’Mahony) also doubles as the referee!
K. Canty appears to have a problem with taking direction and may be at risk of being dropped for next year!
Well done to all of our 6th Year teams that took part. It will be up to next years 6th years to defeat the teachers!! “Straight out of da Hassig” (3 years ago) are still the only team to achieve that.
