FAI Spar 5-a-Side Soccer

Category : Blog News Sport

On Wednesday the 11th of April, Holy Family sent teams to compete at the annual FAI and Spar 5 a side soccer blitz at Portlaoise Leisure Centre. The teams performed very well  on the day and did a great job representing the school.

The girls ‘A’ team were incredibly unlucky not to progress having won  three and drawn one of their five matches.

The boys were narrowly defeated by a single goal in their games against Scoil Bhríde and Scoil Naomh Eoin. The games could have gone either way and the boys represented the school brilliantly.

A note of thanks to Mr. Malone and Ms. Duff for being selectors and to Mr. Gavin, Mr. Downey, Mr. O’ Shea and Mr. Mulligan who manned the sidelines on the day.
