The Cumann Na MBunscoil Girls Football Final
We were so excited. We were in the Cumann Na mBunscoil girls' football final. Nothing big apart from the fact THAT IT WAS THE SMALL SCHOOLS COUNTY FINALS! The team: Miranda, Kaitlin (cpt), Áine, Holly, Marie, Amy, Éimear (cpt). Since we have a small school we had to join up with Gortnacart School (thankfully!) were Miranda and Kaitlin went. The finals were in Dungloe GAA pitch. We were to play 3 games. Scoil Mhuire, Lochanuir and Brackey. First up Scoil Mhuire. We beat them by 20 points. Then Lochanuir was lining up for a game. We're not sure what the score was because we stopped counting after a while!! Then came Brackey from Ardara too. AND GUESS WHAT???? Lucky us we beat them too!! We were very tired from playing three games, one after another. We forgot all about that for a minute. We respectfully shook hands with the losing Brackey side then jumped round the pitch in joy. We were ecstatic!! We lined up for the presentation. We had to wait for the boys first. What happened to ladies first???!! After what seemed forever it was our turn. The deserving captains, Éimear and Kaitlin, went up for the prize. We celebrated all the way home! It only occurred to us that we were so tired on the way home. We very nearly fell asleep on the bus back home.
