Good luck to the Ballinderry Shamrocks under-15 Féile Peile na nÓg (football and ladies football) and Féile na nGael (camogie) teams as they begin their quest of Féile honours in three codes of the annual competitions over the next two weekends.
This year’s John West Féile na nGael national finals are taking place at Leinster venues on Saturday 21st June, with the Ballinderry team based in Wexford and the Féile Peile na nÓg national finals are taking place in County Derry on Saturday 28th June, with both Ballinderry teams based in Owenbeg.
We welcomed the three captains Eva Forbes, Dara Doonan and Sheligha Hughes and three of their coaches to our school yesterday. On behalf of Derrychrin PS, Mr. McElroy made a donation towards funds for both Feile weekends.
We wish all the players and management, many of whom are past pupils, the very best of luck from everyone at Derrychrin PS. A special to our staff members Deirdre McGuckin (Camogie management team), Aidy Mc Glade (football management) and Donna McGuckin who is a member of the LGFA management.
A massive achievement for the club to have three teams participating in a highly recognised GAA national competition. Good luck to all the players and management teams and hopefully we will be able to welcome you back in September with some silverware!
Safe travels to everyone making the journey to both events and enjoy the experience!
