The children showed great teamwork, determination and sportsmanship throughout all their matches, making the school community very proud. It was wonderful to see such enthusiasm and skill on display, along with plenty of encouragement for teammates and opponents alike. A big thank you to Russell Gaelic Union Downpatrick and Sav Sports for hosting a wellorganised and enjoyable event.
