Sacred Heart P.S. travelled to St Patrick’s Park, Newcastle, today for the FunFit East Down GAA Tournament.

Pitted in Group 1, the boys enjoyed three great games, winning two of them and finishing runners up. The runners up spot afforded them a place in the Cup quarter final.

The first group game was a fantastic 0-06 to 0-01 success over St Caolan’s P.S. Darragh Cross. This was followed up by a 2-05 to 0-00 triumph over St Mary’s P.S. Aughlisnafin with the Dundrum team playing some of their best football of the tournament in this match. The final group game was against St Paul’s P.S. Cabra who incidentally went on to win the Cup. The tussle was nip and tuck all the way with the Cabra outfit winning 1-04 to 0-03 at the final whistle.

The quarter final of the Cup was a very tough match against St Joseph’s P.S. Carnacaville. The game was even for the 1st half with Carnacaville leading 0-02 to 0-01 but a flurry of goals from the St Joseph’s side saw them progress, reaching the Cup final in the end.

Another productive outing for Sacred Heart P.S. as they look to build on this with upcoming blitzes, tournaments and Cumann na mBunscol activity in the pipeline. A big thank you goes to Dundrum GAC Coaching Officer Ruairi McGuigan for his support and help with the school team.
