Cath Ríoga At Charlesland Sports Park

The Girls Relay winners… WEDS7JUNE23

atest press release from Allianz Cumann na mBunscol, issued on Thursday, June 8th 2023…

This year’s Allianz Cumann na mBunscol Sports Day took place in Charlesland Sport and Recreation Park, Greystones on Wednesday, June 7th. 

There was great excitement in the lead up to this event as it had not taken place since 2019. Schools represented included Gaelscoil na gCloch Liath, Greystones Community National School, Greystones Educate Together, Holy Rosary Wicklow, Kilcoole Primary School, Kilmacanogue, St. Coen’s Rathnew, St. Fergal’s, St. Mary’s and St. Gerard’s Enniskerry, St. Laurence’s Greystones, St. Patrick’s Bray, St. Brigid’s Greystones, St. Kevin’s, Newtown, Ashford, Curtlestown, St. Peter’s,
Roundwood, Woodstock ETNS, St. Cronan’s and Gaelscoil Uí Chéadaigh.

The day began with a parade around the track with each school displaying their banner, wearing their school’s colours with pride and singing Amhrán na bhFiann before events got under way. Cathaoirleach Ciara did a fine job of MC on the day and kept every event ticking along nicely.

Events included individual races, team relays, tug of war, ball throw, long puck, long kick and long jump. Each boy and girl represented their school impeccably and should be very proud of themselves. Special thanks to all the teachers, parents, past pupils, first aid team and volunteers who assisted in the running of the day.

Thanks to Teresa Kinnane and the staff in Charlesland, we are grateful to have the use of such fantastic facilities.  The Sports Day is a day run by volunteers and without such good nature and teamwork it would be possible to hold such an event, to all of those Allianz Cumann na mBunscol Chill Mhantáin are indebted.  Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine!

Most importantly well done to each and every child who took part, many of whom have seldom, or maybe never, ran on a track before so this is a wonderful experience for them. We hope it gives them a grá for it and that they will be back again. The level of sportsmanship displayed on the day was truly remarkable.

Children could be seen shaking hands at the end of events, congratulating each other on the podium and helping each other out. This lovely atmosphere of sportsmanship was a credit to them and their schools.

It is days like this that children remember and the Cumann na mBunscol Sports Day is one such memory to cherish.
