Wicklow v. Kildare Half-Time Game
Written By Martin Byrne, 6th class, Dunlavin
We were really excited to be asked to play at half time during the Wicklow vs Kildare Leinster Championship match which took place in Dr Cullen Park, Carlow on Saturday May 11 at 7 p.m. Five students from our school, Scoil Nioclais Naofa Dunlavin, and five from Scoil Naomh Iosaf Baltinglass were chosen to represent Wicklow. We met underneath the scoreboard at the pitch a few minutes before half time. Teachers, Sinead Keogh and Ciaran Walsh, organised us into positions just before we ran on to the pitch. It was a great feeling. We played very well and beat Kildare in our mini game. Unfortunately the senior team didn’t follow our example.
