A Beautiful Day for Gaelic Football at the Wicklow Times Shield
After a couple of postponements and unfavourable weather conditions; the Allianz Cumann na mBunscol 2018 Girls Wicklow Times Shield finally took place in Bray Emmets GAA Grounds on Wednesday 21st March. The weather held out for us and it made for a beautiful day for Gaelic Football.
Eleven schools took part in the day’s games, fourteen teams in total. The schools were placed into three groups.
The teams that took part were:
St. Kevin’s Greystones (2 teams)
Ashford N.S. (2 teams)
St. Fergal’s Bray (2 teams)
St. Brigid’s Greystones
St. Laurence’s Greystones
Kilcoole N.S.
Newtown N.S.
St. Peter’s N.S. Bray
Wicklow Educate Together
Gaelscoil Chill Mhantáin
Gaelscoil Uí Cheadaigh
All three groups were very competitive with great skill on display in all groups. It was very hard to separate schools on many occasions.
Winners from the three groups are as follows:
GROUP ONE: St. Laurence’s
GROUP TWO: Gaelscoil Chill Mhantáin
GROUP THREE: St. Fergal’s Bray
Many thanks again to Bray Emmets for accommodating the schools. A special thank you to the teachers on getting their teams out at short notice.
