Great Footballing Success for St Ita's

Our P7 girls took to Colin Glen Dome indoor pitches in January for the group stage of the Cumann na mBunscol indoor football tournament. 

The girl demonstrated excellent skills and teamwork throughout, overcoming strong challenges from St Clare's , St Mary's on the Hill and St Brides. The team progressed through to the finals day that Friday where they met St Anne's and St Joseph's, Lisburn. These were two tough games, and we were unlucky not to come away with a win as multiple shots grazed the post. Well done girls. We are so proud of your performances throughout! 

Our P7 boys travelled to Colin Glen Dome indoor pitches for the group stage of the Cumann na mBunscol indoor football tournament. 

 

Having been drawn in a tough group against Holy Trinity, St. Bernard's Glengormley and St. Mary's on the Hill, our boys were going to have to be at their best to win all their games. They won the first two with some tenacious defending and excellent attacking play. Some of the points and goals that they scored were very impressive. Our two wins set up a final 'winner takes all' group match against Holy Trinity. Both schools had been unbeaten in their opening two matches so the winner of this one was going to qualify for the finals as group winners.

 

St. Ita's dominated the opening 5 minutes but could not make it count on the scoreboard. With the game still very much in the balance, Holy Trinity struck for a goal against the run of play. This proved to be the motivation that our boys needed as they hit the next 4 scores to come out on top.
