TYs at Pallas Driving School
Well done to our TY Students who completed a full day workshop at Pallas Driving School earlier this week. TY Students began by working on preparation for the Driving Theory Test followed by an individual Driving Lesson for each student. After a couple of false starts and stalls, our TY students didn’t take long before they were taking on the open road!
Visit from a Vet
Students in home room 2 had a special visit recently from vet Caroline Mounsey and her lovely dog Leia ( as in Starwars!). Students got to listen to Leias heartbeat and find her electronic microchip. They also got to see lots of x-rays including one of a hedgehog! Caroline went through all aspects of owning a pet, from what to feed them, to what it means to be a responsible owner. Huge thanks to Caroline, Leia and all at A Country Practice Veterinary Clinic
Win for 1st Year Boys âš½
Our first-year boys soccer team had their first outing of the year today. We were drawn away against a much-fancied Scoil Ruain Killenaule side. After a cagey start from both sides Scoil Ruian took the lead after a fine counter attack. Nenagh quickly levelled after some excellent work down the wing resulted in a great cross from Ethan Connolly being cleared by the defence, but only as far as Cian Kinsella, who with a wonder strike into the top corner brought the sides level.
Scoil Ruian grew into the game more and were rewarded with a goal halfway through the first half. Nenagh fought back very hard and toward the end of the half won a corner. After a great delivery Caleb Maher couldn’t be stopped after finding a yard of space and firing the sides back level just before the break.
The second half was a very even battle with both teams creating chances. The best of which fell to the home side when they rattled the crossbar with a freekick from distance.
The superior fitness of the Nenagh College boys told deep into the second half when a fine knock on from Tomás McKenzie Cleary found Filip Wiewiora in space behind the back line. After some great work at the end line, he fired a low cross which was finished by Ethan Connolly.
A great result away from home. The boys will play Newport college in the next round.
