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!

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!
