Kilberry National School U10’s Team

Cumann na mBunscol Winners!!! 

As part of the Aistear programme, infants have been having a wonderful time learning about the animals on the farm and the many jobs of the farmer. Well done boys and girls!

Our basketball club has been up and running for the last few months in preparation for the Cumann na mBunscol Basketball leagues.

Kilberry welcomed Moone N.S. on Thursday last. Both our girls’ and boys’ basketball teams played some excellent basketball and displayed great skill and determination. Although Moone were winners on the day, our boys’ and girls’ teams gained some valuable court experience as most of our players made their league debut! Well done everyone.

Thanks to our Parent’s Council for our lovely new set of basketballs which have been put to good use over the last few weeks!

Our Senior and u10’s teams were both in action this week against Grange. After a great team performance, our Seniors were defeated by a strong Grange side. With other teams level with us on points, we must now await other results to determine whether we progress on score difference.

The u10’s team booked their place in a semi final today with a great win over Grange. The team were leaving nothing to chance and battled all the way to the final whistle defending and driving at the opposition at every opportunity.

Well done to all our teams as they continue to do Kilberry N.S. proud!
