They were very competitive but we were very happy to win by 4-10 to their 1-1. Next we came up against Two-Mile-Borris and we had an easy victory. The final score was 4-3 to no score.<\/p>\n<p>Thirdly we played Scoile Ailbe who won their two games, just like us. They had very strong players and for a while it seemed like we weren\u2019t going to go home as winners, but we turned the game around and in the final few minutes we scored the winning goal. The final score was 3-1 to 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>We celebrated the whole way back to school.<\/p>\n<p>By Billy Collier.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Defending Our Title<\/h2>\n<p>On the 11<sup>th<\/sup> October it was a mild day. The U11\u2019s were representing the school in the Durlas \u00d2g pitch in the Roinn A Football Competition.<\/p>\n<p>The teams they played were Two Mile Borris, Gael Scoil and Scoil Ailbhe. The boys had two easy wins against Two Mile Borris and Gael Scoil. But Scoil Ailbhe were the team to beat.<\/p>\n<p>Scoil Ailbhe started off stronger by scoring 2 goals. But Liam Collins scored a goal to put the boys back in the game.<\/p>\n<p>At half time Scoil Ailbhe were ahead on a score line of 2-1 to 1-0. In the second half our boys were on top. Zac Quinlinn, Jack Marnell and Tom Corcoran added to the scoreboard and there was also some all star defending like the great Kerry teams.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to defending our title for a second year running. I think Tom Corcoran or Ryan Loughnane would get my Man of the Match.<\/p>\n<p>by Stephen Tuohy<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stcolmcillens.scoilnet.ie\/blog\/files\/2017\/10\/20171011_131340440854543.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9912 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/stcolmcillens.scoilnet.ie\/blog\/files\/2017\/10\/20171011_131340440854543-450x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stcolmcillens.scoilnet.ie\/blog\/files\/2017\/10\/20171011_1313481643632219.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9910 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/stcolmcillens.scoilnet.ie\/blog\/files\/2017\/10\/20171011_1313481643632219-450x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stcolmcillens.scoilnet.ie\/blog\/files\/2017\/10\/20171011_1313441746522913.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9909 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/stcolmcillens.scoilnet.ie\/blog\/files\/2017\/10\/20171011_1313441746522913-450x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stcolmcillens.scoilnet.ie\/blog\/files\/2017\/10\/20171011_1313411576723820.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9906 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/stcolmcillens.scoilnet.ie\/blog\/files\/2017\/10\/20171011_1313411576723820-450x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stcolmcillens.scoilnet.ie\/blog\/files\/2017\/10\/20171011_115837-1903841316.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9907 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/stcolmcillens.scoilnet.ie\/blog\/files\/2017\/10\/20171011_115837-1903841316-1-450x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stcolmcillens.scoilnet.ie\/blog\/files\/2017\/10\/20171011_115943-343693442.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9908 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/stcolmcillens.scoilnet.ie\/blog\/files\/2017\/10\/20171011_115943-343693442-1-450x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well done to the 13 boys who represented St. Colmcille&#8217;s with pride in Thurles for the U11 football blitz on Wednesday.&nbsp;&nbsp; In windy conditions the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/stcolmcillens.ie\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9915"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/stcolmcillens.ie\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/stcolmcillens.ie\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stcolmcillens.ie\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stcolmcillens.ie\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9915"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/stcolmcillens.ie\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9915\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/stcolmcillens.ie\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stcolmcillens.ie\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stcolmcillens.ie\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
