The Ist XI girls hockey team played Cluny in the first round of the Leinster Schools Cup last Tuesday. We began the match confident that we would continue to the next round and, despite a scoreless first twenty minutes, we soon were on top with a goal scored by Valerie Sexton. We managed to make the scoreline 4-0 by half time with goals from Judy Kelleher, Maoliosa Nugent and Ruth Senior. The final score was 6-0 (Ali Meeke and Maoliosa Nugent). We will face King's Hospital in the second round on Wednesday at home.

The first round of the Vinnie Murray Cup was played in the UCD Bowl. The conditions were not great for a classic encounter with High School having to play against the elements for the first half. Keeping the score to 3-3 going into the second half, we were confident that we could impose our game plan. Indeed success was found against a resolute Templeogue defense, with Colin Sheridan kicking 2 difficult penalties, a conversion to a Steven Carter try and a drop goal. Our thanks go to our great travelling support and to UCD for organising such a well run event.

A meeting in the Demonstration Theatre will be conducted on Thursday 24 January, for all those who are interested in going on the ski trip next year. Current 3rd form pupils should attend at 1pm while current 4th and 5th form should attend at 1.30 pm.
