We had two very special visitors in school today as Erin Sands and Bebhionn Rogan, members of the successful Down Ladies Gaelic team who recently won the Ulster Junior Championship by defeating Fermanagh in the final brought the Ulster Trophy into St Mary’s.
The children wore the red and back of Down for the occasion and greeted the girls with loud cheers and plenty of questions about the Final and the girl’s great success!
It was wonderful to have both girls in school today, and it was especially pleasing to see the great success of one of our own past pupils in Erin.
The Down Ladies Team have recently been fundraising for the breast cancer charity ‘Pretty ‘n’ Pink’ and we were delighted to present a cheque for £100 to Erin and Bebhionn to support this fantastic charity.
Many thaks to Paul O'Shea from Ardglass GAC for organising the visit today.
