GAA success for P7 in the annual Parish Cup 🏆

21st Jun 2025

P7/R7 had an exciting morning at Tír na nÓg last week for the annual ‘Parish cup’ competition held between Presentation Ps, Ballyoran Ps and St John the Baptist Ps! As the sun shone down on a glorious morning, all boys and girls were given the opportunity to demonstrate the skills that they have practised in PE lessons this year, by playing a number of group games as well as participating in some skills based activities! The competition cumulated in two nail biting finals both against Presentation Primary School. Due to great determination and competitive spirit, both the girls’ and boys’ teams emerged victorious!! 

Congratulations to all that took part! All the children should be proud of themselves for the teamwork, fair play and level of skill that was on show throughout the morning!

It was also lovely to see some past pupils who gave up their time to help referee the games!

A massive thank you to Tír na nÓg for hosting and also coaches Conall and Conor from Healthy Kidz for organising a super event!

A huge thank you also to All Ireland winning Armagh players, Aimee Reid and Barry McCambridge for presenting the trophies to the winning teams.
