Feast of Football at the Wicklow Times Shield Day!
Bray Emmets GAA club hosted Day 2 of the Girls Football Wicklow Times Shield for girls in 5th and 6th class last Thursday, 18th April. 18 schools participated with 29 teams in total competing across the 6 divisions. The participating schools were: Scoil Chualann, Gaelscoil Uí Chéadaigh, St Peters, Ravenswell, St Brigids, St Laurences, St Kevins, Greystones ETNS, Greystones CNS, Gaelscoil na gCloch Liath, Kilcoole PS, Newtown PS, Gaelscoil Chill Mhantáin, St Coens, Scoil na Coroine Mhurie Ashford, Wicklow ETNS, Holy Rosary and Kilmacanogue NS. Over 300 girls playing Gaelic Football on the one day is a testament to the promotion of Gaelic Football in our clubs and schools. The skill level of the players was great to witness with excellent scores being taken. Each team played a minimum of three games. There were 6 divisions and the top two teams in each division contested a final. The Division 1 final was played between Gaelscoil Uí Chéadaigh and St Brigids, Greystones. After a great game of football, Gaelscoil Uí Chéadaigh were victorious and took home the Wicklow Times Sheild for 2024.
