Fri 23 May 2025Sacred Heart P.S. put in a superb day of football as they reached the semi final stage of the prestigious St Louis G.S. 7’s tournament.
The opening match against St Columban’s P.S. Kilkeel was tight throughout with the Mourne side striking a couple of late goals to win out 4-03 to 1-03. A goal fest against another Kilkeel school, Gaelscoil na mBeann, followed as both teams hit 16 between them with the Gaeligeoirs succeeding 9-04 to 7-06. In the final group game, Sacred Heart P.S. put on a determined show, ending up 11-03 to 7-04 victors against St Patrick’s P.S. Burrenreagh.
With the young Dundrum team finishing third in their group, they were drawn against Grange P.S., another Kilkeel based side in the semi final of the Shield. A brilliant 2nd half from Sacred Heart P.S. got them within six points at the long whistle, losing out 6-03 to 3-06. Well done to Grange P.S. for going on and winning the Shield final.
The panel of 10 Sacred Heart P.S. players were a credit to their school and their club for the high level of competitiveness that was shown throughout the tournament.

Daily Mile in Dundrum
Wed 21 May 2025As part of ‘Walk to School Week,’ we moved our Daily Mile on location as the whole school went for a walk around Dundrum. With the sun shining brightly aligned with scorching temperatures, everyone had to cool off with an ice lolly at Murray’s Green! A lovely afternoon stroll was had around our beautiful village.

Down GAA Cumann na mBunscol 9-a-side Qualifier
Wed 21 May 2025Sacred Heart P.S. travelled to Ardglass GAC this morning to take part in their group qualifier. In their pot were Holy Family P.S. Teconnaught, St Nicholas’ P.S. Ardglass and Bunscoil Bheanna Boirche, Castlewellan.
Up first was an enthralling tie with Holy Family P.S. Both teams played good football throughout. The game was nip and tuck right up until the final whistle with a draw being the result in the end.
St Nicholas’ P.S. were next up for the Sacred Heart P.S. boys. It was a close first half but the Reds pushed on in the second half to earn a four point victory.
The last game of the group was the best of the day. The Dundrum boys led the Bunscoil by a point with a couple of minutes remaining. But two late goals from the Gaeligeoirs saw them emerge victorious by five points. They went on to top the group and qualify for the county 9-a-side semi finals.
The big positive for Sacred Heart P.S. is that out of the panel of 15, 12 are all eligible next year with another 8 still able to play in two year’s time! A great experience for them all.
Results:
Sacred Heart P.S. Dundrum 1-04 Holy Family P.S. Teconnaught 2-01 (Draw)
Sacred Heart P.S. Dundrum 1-02 St Nicholas P.S. Ardglass 0-01 (Won)
Sacred Heart P.S. Dundrum 0-03 Bunscoil Bheanna Boirche, Castlewellan 2-02 (Loss)
