Corn Comhar Linn
Ghlac foireann peile na gcailíní páirt i gCorn Comhar Linn i mbliana. Le linn na cluichí sraithe, bhuamar ar Scoil Bhríde, Cábán tSíle 5.05 v 2.03 agus ar Scoil Shinsireach Naomh Attracta, Baile an tSaoir 3.07 v 2.05 ach bhí Scoil Lorcáin, Baile na Manach beagáinín ró-mhaith dóibh ar an lá agus chailleamar 3.02 v 1.03. Chríochnaigh muid sa dara háit agus cé go raibh muid taobh thiar sa chluiche i gcoinne Scoil Áine Naofa, Leamhcán sa cheathrú craobh, d’éirigh linn an leath chraobh a bhaint amach 2.05 v 1.03. Bhí cailíní na scoile beagáinín ró-láidir (2.03 v 1.02) do Scoil Cnoc Ainbhil, Cnoc Mhuirfean sa chluiche leath cheannais agus bhí an chraobh bainte amach acu.
Imríodh an craobh i bPáirc an Chrócaigh Dé Luain 22 Deireadh Fómhair i gcoinne Scoil Maelruain. Bhí muintir Thamhlachta chun tosaigh 0.03 v 0.01 ag leath ama ach ní raibh cailíní Ghaelscoil Thaobh na Coille sásta géilleadh dóibh agus bhuamar an dara leath 2.04 v 1.03.
Bhí corn Roinn 2 Cumann na mBunscol buaite acu (2.05 v 1.06) agus bhí lucht tacaíochta na scoile – a bhí déanta suas de dhaltaí Rang a 3 go Rang a 6 – ag screadaíl ar bharr a ngutha nuair a bronnadh Corn Comhar Linn ar Chaptaen agus ar Leas-Chaptaen na scoile, Ruth Ní Aoláin agus Sadhbh Ní Bhroin.
Míle buíochas leis an Múinteoir Priestley & an Múinteoir Ó Dubhthaigh a rinne bainistíocht ar an bhfoireann agus le Thurlough Ó Meachair (Daidí Aoibheann) agus Ruth Uí Scannail (Mamaí Kate) as ucht an traenáil a rinne siad leis an bhfoireann le dhá mhí anuas.

Corn Comhar Linn
The girls’ football participated in Cumann na mBunscol’s Corn Comhar Linn this year. They recorded victories against St. Brigid’s, Cabinteely (5.05 v 2.03) and St. Attracta’s SNS, Ballinteer (3.07 v 2.05) in the group stages but fell short against Monkstown’s Scoil Lorcáin in Round 2, losing by a 3.02 v 1.03 margin. They finished as group runners up and faced tough opponents in Scoil Áine, Lucan in the Quarter Finals. Despite trailing in the match, they dug deep and claimed a 2.05 v 1.03 victory. They overcame a much fancied Mount Anville NS, Mount Merrion 2.03 v 1.02 in a closely fought out Semi Final.
The girls’ next faced a date with Scoil Maelruain in the Croke Park decider. Their Tallaght opponents were full value for their 0.03 v 0.01 interval lead but the Gaelscoil upped their efforts to overcome their rivals outscoring them 2.04 v 1.03 in the second half to record a two point victory (2.05 v 1.06).
Gaelscoil Thaobh na Coille won the Division 2 title and their supporters – made up mainly of pupils from Rang a 3-6 – were in full voice as team Captain, Ruth Ní Aoláin and Vice-Captain, Sadhbh Ní Bhroin proudly accepted the cup on behalf of the school.
Many thanks to An Múinteoir Priestley and An Múinteoir Ó Dubhthaigh who managed the team on the day of the final and to Turlough Ó Meachair (Daidí Aoibheann) agus Ruth Uí Scannail (Mamaí Kate) for the training they did with the panel over the past couple of months.
