Scoil Golf Society

The revival of the Scoil golf society last year was well received.

So, once more into the breach… this year’s first outing will be in the superb Carton House Maynooth on Friday 25th March. Tee times provisionally booked from 10.00am to 11.30am. Indicative cost for golf/prizes/food is €90. This includes a donation to a charity which is a stipulation of the booking.

In order to gauge interest can people indicate if they intend playing by contacting Eltin at scoiltreasurer@gmail.com before Friday 21st January 2022 please.

No money necessary at this stage, we just need to ascertain level of interest and hopefully confirm the booking.

Scoil Notices

The club wishes to extend our condolences to Patrick Healy and the Healy family on the recent death of Patrick’s dad Tadhg.

Tadhg, passed away peacefully at his home on 10th January, 2022, in the loving care of his family after a long illness, bravely borne.

Tadhg was The Former Secretary General of the Department of Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands and a keen cyclist. Upon retirement, he was presented with miniature bike to symbolize his love for cycling – he cycled to work everyday. He always had the Irish Times and during his working life some other documents under his arm. The Times was read cover to cover daily and he would present various cut-outs to his children that he felt would be of interest to them.

Patrick coaches our U12 boys team and his 4 sons, Darragh, Eoghan, Shane and Liam all play for the club for the U13, U12, U10 and U8 teams.

On the day, a Scoil Jersey was presented to Clara GAA, which Tommy accepted on behalf of club.

Minor Ladies Memorial Walk

Our Minor Ladies organized a walk in memory of Ashling Murphy. Thank you to our Minor Ladies for arranging this walk and to everyone that took part. I have no doubt that each and every one of us are thinking of Ashling’s family and friends as she was laid to rest this week.

Camogie News

We are putting a call out to existing and past members for help to develop and build the camogie section back to where it once was.

We are particularly asking that people who had been involved in Scoil’s prestigious camogie past that they would get involved with camogie once again. We especially need people for the camogie committee, which we hope will provide guidance, help and support to develop camogie in the Club.
