We have been very busy in Kiltealy N.S. with our senior teams taking part in various sporting events last week.
Our hurlers took part in the Mini-Sevens League last Tuesday in Rathnure. They had 2 games on the day. They had a great victory over Raheen in their first game. Unfortunately they hadn’t the same luck in the second game and were defeated by Rathnure. They played extremely well in both games and did themselves, their school and families very proud. Well done boys. Thanks to Ms. Duff and Jim Cooper for his participation on the day.
Team: Tiernan Fitzhenry, Ian Blake, Callum Boyce, Michael Murphy, James Aylward, Jacques Neville, Ryan Purcell, Danny Fitzhenry, Dylan Purcell and David Nolan.
