A huge congratulations to our P6 girls and boys Olympic Handball Teams who following three days of intense league games, (Oct – March) made it through to the Olympic Handball Final Day in the Leisure Plex on Friday 15th April. Both teams competed against 5 other teams from Antrim and Down District and successfully made it to the final. The girls played St.Comgalls, Sullivan Prep, Comber, St.Ita’s and St.Joseph’s Carryduff, winning all these matches and drew with St.Itas. They then again met Carryduff in the final but unfortunately narrowly lost (3,2). We are immensely proud of their efforts. The good news is that they can play again next year in the P7 league, and some of the P6 girls will be chosen to play up in the P7 league this year in May/ June.
The boys had a slightly tougher route to the final, they lost to Pond Park in the qualifiers (2,4), defeated Killinchy (6,2) drew against Carryduff, (0,0) defeated Sullivan Prep (4,1) and Glencraig (5,0). They again met Pond Park in the final but lost (0,3) in an intense final thriller. We are so very proud of all the children for their passion, commitment and effort. Again they have next year to compete and some of the boys will be chosen to play up in the forthcoming P7 League. A huge thankyou to Mr Law for coming along to help, to the parents who came to watch and to Mr Gallagher who came to support us also.
Girls Team: Enya, Sian, Mia Law (P5), Hannah, Moya, Kamile, Rihanna, Katie, Tyler and Shannon
Boys Team: Ruairi, Oisin, Conor, Conall, Anton, Fionn, Oliver, Lewis, Cailean and Kuba
