Hard luck to our soccer team who took part in the FAI 5 a side competition in Gortakeegan. The boys all put in fantastic performances and were very unlucky to lose out in the final playoff game. Thank you to @faischools, John and all refs and organisers for a great day.

Big well done in particular to the boys who came 3rd in their event and to Chloe Gilespie who came 4th. Massive well done to all involve.
