The senior boys and girls futsal team took part in a Fingal wide soccer blitz this week and performed incredibly well throughout. The blitz took place in Huntstown Hartstown all weather facility in Dublin 15.
Two boys teams were selected for the blitz on Tuesday 4th March and along with Mr. Byrne and Ms. Walsh, had a fantastic day out. Unfortunately, after a successful group campaign for both teams, they got pitted against each other in the quarter final so ultimately one of the teams advanced and the other bowed out. The game was played with great sportsmanship and this was a pleasure to witness from the side-lines. Rush National School eventually got to the final, the first time that a boys soccer team has reached a final in over a decade, where they beaten by two time winners of the blitz Lusk National School. It was a great day for both teams and players.
The following day, Ms. Weldon and Ms. Conaty brought two teams to the same venue for the girls equivalent and again, the weather played it’s part in everyone having a wonderful day. Unfortunately, neither side were able to make it out of their group but the teachers commented on the standard of the blitz being to an extremely high quality and the girls gave it their all in every game they played.
Big thanks to the teachers who went along on the day and more to come from both football teams in the coming weeks. Watch this space.
