Malachy Duffin Memorial Cup11 June 2024 (by admin) |
Today our P6 pupils made the short journey to St Joseph's College, Coalisland to take part in the Malachy Duffin Memorial Cup.
The boys and girls played in the group stages against Edendork and Primate Dixon II. With the girls drawing two and losing two, they finished runners up in their section. For the boys they won three and lost one. This meant they finished joint top with Edendork. Both teams qualified for the Cup Semi Final.
The Final was to be an exciting game against Edendork as both teams had registered a victory against each other in the group stages. The Kingsisland Boys got the first score of the Final and after settling, they put their stamp firmly on the game running out worthy winners. This again was another action packed game with great skill on display.
The whole team of boys and girls put in a fantastic effort today. It was amazing for the boys to be crowned the first winners of the Malachy Duffin Memorial Cup, a stalwart and massive figure in the St. Joseph's Community. It was also fitting that Clonoe O’Rahillys were represented on our team by Danny and James, a club very close to Malachy's heart.
A massive thank you to St. Joseph's College, Coalisland for the invitation and for the wonderful hospitality that was shown to all staff and pupils today. We all had a memorable day that I'm sure the children will recall with fond memories as they look back on their Primary School Days.
