Holy Family SNS had 5 teams taking part in the Swords Credit Union Quiz, which was held in Fingallians GAA clubhouse on Sunday 2 February, 2014. This competition involves the 8 schools in the Swords area. Holy Family have been turning out teams of potential Masterminds for several years and this years competitors after several weeks practice with Mr Lynch did the school proud once again.
Our Junior A team of Ciaran Downes, Keith Daly, Lucas Malone and Megan Appleyard won the U-11 competition and will now go on to compete at the north Dublin final in ALSAA next month.
The Junior B team were 4 at U-11, missing out on the medal spots by just a single point. Unusually this year many of these children are still only in 3 Class and did extremely well in a competition which includes children up to 5 Class. Most will be still U-11 next year and hopefully will be back to do even better in 2015
The U-13 competition was won this year by a very strong Rolestown performance. But our Senior teams put up a good battle with two of Holy Family teams finishing in joint 4, tied on 46pts, just 3 pts outside the Bronze medal position.
Thanks to all the parents who provided transport and to the families for all the support on the day!
