Yesterday in Bailieborough, the girls from Killinkere National School took to the pitch with great determination as they competed in a local soccer tournament. Over the past few weeks, their progress has been remarkable, with every training session.
One of our teams delivered a series of fantastic performances throughout the tournament. They played with energy and a real sense of unity, making us incredibly proud of how far they’ve come. Their effort and attitude were a credit to themselves and the school.
Our second team also had an outstanding day. They battled their way through the group stages, topping the group and earned a place in what we believed was the final. The girls gave it absolutely everything, showing grit and determination to secure a well-deserved victory. The celebrations were full of joy and pride.
However, just as we were about to board the bus, we were called back for one more unexpected game. Despite the sudden turnaround, the girls once again gave it their all on the pitch. Though they ultimately fell just short, their commitment never wavered.
We could not be prouder of all the girls. Their progress, teamwork, and determination over the past few weeks have been truly impressive, and they represented their school with great pride.
This marked the first outing in our brand new set of jerseys, and they certainly made an impression. We are very grateful to John B Smith Decarb Contracts Ltd. and we would like to thank him for his generous and much-appreciated sponsorship. The girls absolutely loved them!
