Rounders Blitz

On the 1st of June a sixth class contingent represented the school in the annual Cavan Rounders' Blitz on the 3G pitch in Breifne Park. Given the hectic sporting schedule of this time of year, the girls had little time to prepare, yet despite this they put in two great performances. Despite losing to a very strong Farnham team in their first outing, the girls recovered to beat Ballinagh in a close and competitive encounter.
