Gaelic

 Gaelic training is provided for all classes every Thursday.  In April we  take part in the Co. Leitrim town schools' league.  Approximately six other schools take part.  We were not very successful this year but we intend to do better next year.

Basket is a great game which we play during the Spring and Summer months. A league between the senior classes is organised every year.  It is a great way to improve your skills at the game.

Chess

Chess is a very good game for improving concentration and making your mind sharp. This is why our school organizes a chess league. Fourth, Fifth and Sixth take part.

 Some of the more experienced players have games with beginners. The experienced player explains the rules as they go along.

At first, pupils are put into random groups. They play each other once. When all games are completed, those who take part are divided into divisions, according to the points they have scored. The A League, the B League and the C League begin. 

Volleyball

We really enjoy playing volleyball at PE times but in particular when the leagues start every April.  These matches are organised for the senior classes during the 11 o'clock break.  Each team has an opportunity to take part in 12 games each.  The top teams play in the final.

Winners and runners-up win medals.

Hurling

A hurling coach takes the senior classes for at least a term to teach us hurling skills.

School Sport's Day

The highlight of our sporting year is the school sports day, held each year in June.  The day is chosen and if the weather permits we all head to the pitch at the back of the school to take part in sprints, long races and novelty events.
