NÓTA: Photos of all girls in ACADAMH NA gCAILÍNÍ will be taken on Sunday 31st at 11am in Connolly Park. This is for the 2010 calendar. Don’t miss out on being on everyone’s wall during 2011!
SUNDAY: The sun was splitting the heavens at Connolly Park last Sunday for what was supposed to be our last day of training for Cailíní an Acadaimh…but with the girls not wanting training to finish yet! That’s enthusiasm, a chailíní! It looks like they have the weather on their side! There was a fantastic turnout of girls, all of whom enjoyed partaking in various drills and games! I understand that at UNDER 12 level there was even a tug of war! At UNDER 10 level emphasis was put on kicking from the hand and from the ground but, after several requests, we had a sixteen-a-side game on a five-a-side pitch! With “goals only” the score was kept to a very close 4 goals to 3. This game lasted for half an hour. We apologise to parents for the late finish but it is hard to stop when they are enjoying themselves so much…”let no man put a stop to the march of a nation”, comes to mind! (Can anyone tell us who said those words?) Best wishes to Niath Ryan who was our only injury on the day…cailín cróga…an-chróga!
TRAENÁIL ARÍS: Training is on next Sunday for all UNDER 6 to UNDER 12 girls at Connolly Park at 11am. Please be on time because PHOTOS for NEXT YEAR’S CALENDAR will be taken. Don’t miss out on being on everyone’s wall during 2011!
BIRTHDAYS: Breithlá sona to Meabh McElligott who was nine on Sunday 24th October and who showed her dedication by training as usual! (Féach ar sin mar Réalta!) The Acadamh also wishes a “breithlá sona” to Eleanor Feeley who was eleven on 22nd October, to Aoife McAuliffe and Áine Moynihan who were both thirteen on 25th October, to Lucy O’Carroll who will be nine on 28th October, to Evelyn Hayes who will be ten on 29th October and to Emma Reidy who will be nine on 1st November. May God give you…For every storm, a rainbow, For every tear, a smile, For every care, a promise, And a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, A faithful friend to share, For every sigh, a sweet song, And an answer for each prayer.
TAKE A BREAK: We hope that all our stars will have a nice break from school and (with a little study by older students) will celebrate Hallowe’en (31ú), All Saints’ Day (1ú) and All Souls’ Day (2ú).
SIOPA: For geansaithe, srl, talk to Terry or/nó labhair le Lorraine.
