🏐 Pat Watterson & Sonia Kinsella Memorial GAA Tournament 🏐

8th Jun 2026

Our Primary 6 and Primary 7 pupils had a fantastic morning of Gaelic football at Saul GAC, participating in the annual Pat Watterson & Sonia Kinsella Memorial GAA Tournament alongside schools from the Lecale Cluster.

In the Pat Watterson Cup, our boys’ team came through a very competitive group stage with some excellent wins to secure their place in the final. Facing a strong St Patrick’s PS Saul side, they produced a superb performance to proudly lift the Pat Watterson Cup.

In the Sonia Kinsella Cup, our girls’ team claimed two impressive victories and were unfortunate to narrowly miss out on a place in the final.

Both teams displayed outstanding teamwork, skill and determination throughout the tournament, representing our school with great pride and sportsmanship.

A sincere thank you to Mr McGrath from St Patrick’s PS Saul for organising such a fantastic event, and well done to everyone who took part.
