Netball Progress Report Well done to our Netballers, who finished joint 2nd in the local netball league today and performed admirably on Monday in the development noncompetitive league. This is our fourth year of having a school netball team, and the progress made has been truly immeasurable. We now enjoy weekly netball coaching at the stateoftheart Ballymote Centre. This provision is built into our PE curriculum, and as a result, we are competing very strongly in local competitions. A huge thank you goes to our dedicated school staff Ms Morgan, Ms Dagan, Ms Mulholland, Ms Mageean, Ms Corrigan and Ms Mageean for the tremendous energy and enthusiasm they bring to supporting our girls. The future is certainly bright for netball in St Colmcille's PS. Looking ahead, we have exciting plans to introduce evening practices at school next year, hopefully in collaboration with the local Downpatrick netball club!
