Try, try, try again!
Last Monday, the senior rugby team
convincingly defeated Mount Temple in the cup by 27 points to 6 to
progress to an encounter with Clongowes which will take place on
Thursday 1 February at Naas RFC (directions on our website) at 2.30 p.m.
(not as notified in the newsletter last week). School will close early
provided a sufficient number of supporters sign up to attend.
The first try came from Robbie Rath after a determined dash down the
left wing. Darragh Keller's important try at the end of the first half
was a significant point in the game, leaving High School in a strong
position for the second half.
The forwards dominated the second half, winning good quality possession
and setting up three other tries from Nigel Kinlan, Robbie Rath again
and Conor O'Donnell. Well done to the team and coaches! (More photos on

Sailing championships
On Saturday, High School entered a team
of six students, Annalise Murphy, Amy Hughes, Alice Wyse Jackson,
Darragh Sweetnam, Finn Murphy and Ferdia O’Brien, in the ISA Leinster
Schools Team Racing Championship. There were fourteen different schools
competing, racing in Rs Feva’s and Fireflys provided by the organisers
of the event.
Racing was inside Dun Laoghaire Harbour where we raced six other schools
in our section in hope of getting through to the finals and hence the
All-Irelands. We won five out of six races which put us through to the
semi-finals. Lack of time and light meant that there could be no semis
or finals and so results were based on league standing. We finished
second overall and we are looking forward to going on to compete in the
All-Irelands in April. We all had a great day and were entertained by a
few capsizes by certain team members!
