It was a fantastic day where they not only took part in plenty of football, but also picked up some new bits of Irish along the way. A special mention to Luke and Chloe who were awarded medals for being the standout pupils from St. Brigid’s. Mile buíochas to Mark Harte for organising such a brilliant blitz.
