The Winter League
By Finn & Ben 6th Class Willow 

We started our annual Winter League a number of weeks ago. The teachers involved are Mr Lloyd, Mr O'Connor, Mr O'Connor (Kerry) Mr O Raoghaill, Mr. Eliffe and our caretaker Joe Kennedy. The captains are Finn Cowper Gray, Paddy Taylor, Daniel Barrs, Sam Kelly Darragh Coughlan and Adam England. All the captains are from 6th class. 

This year we named our teams after some inter county teams. We have Galway, Mayo, Kerry, Dublin, Tyrone and Kildare. We play the Winter League each Friday for seven weeks after mid term. There are five rounds before the top four reach semi finals. The final is played in front of the school on the last week before our holidays. 

In the league the rules are one hop, one solo and punched points. It's a minute in the sin bin for back chat or rough play. 

A win is 2 points a draw is 1 point and a loss is 0 points. It is a great opportunity to play competitive games which are also fun with all our classmates.
