Rugby World Cup

Unless you have been totally out of touch with the sporting news over the last week or so you will know that the Irish Ladies Rugby Team have progressed to the semi finals of the World Cup in France. They have recorded some fantastic wins en route to the semi final, none more so than last week’s victory over New Zealand. Central to this win was the performance of our own Niamh Briggs as she continued with the excellent form she has displayed for the past number of seasons. Niamh’s performances are a source of great pride to us all in Abbeyside and we wish her and all the team the very best of luck in tonight’s semi final against England.

Inter County Activity

Unfortunately last Sunday saw the County Minor Hurlers exit the All Ireland Championship after defeat to Kilkenny in Croke Park. The team showed great commitment throughout the game, and seemed to have secured victory with the game almost over, but Kilkenny leveled before going on to win in extra time. Conor Prunty was on the team whilst Stephen Cliffe and Sean Daly were on the panel and Donnacha Enright and Pat Moore were members of the back room team.

Leaving Certificate Results

We would like to wish all our members who are receiving their Leaving Cert results today the very best of luck and hope that they all get the results they require for their chosen college course or profession.
