FLAG FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS !!!

25th Sep 2025

๐Ÿˆ Flag Football Champions! ๐Ÿˆ

A huge congratulations to the St. Marnock’s Flag Football Team who put on an incredible performance at the Leinster Flag Football Tournament yesterday on Alfie Byrne Road!

Ten of our 6th Class pupils represented the school with great determination, teamwork, and spirit. The team played three tough group games before battling through a quarter-final, semi-final, and a nail-biting final.

The final couldn’t have been more dramatic – it finished one touchdown apiece, sending the game to a thrilling playoff shootout. Both schools had five chances to score from the 5-yard line… and on the very last play, St. Marnock’s broke through to score the winning point and claim the Leinster title! ๐ŸŽ‰

๐Ÿ‘ Special Mentions

  • Evelyn Carter, who showed immense bravery after dislocating her thumb while defending.

  • Mathew, who was awarded MVP of the Tournament for his outstanding performance.

๐ŸŒŸ Our Fantastic Team: Evelyn, Robyn, Beth, Dylan, Max G, Max C, Emmet, Rhys, Mathew, and Oscar.

We are so proud of you all – you played with heart, teamwork, and resilience. The journey isn’t over yet… St. Marnock’s now advances to the National Finals at Sport Ireland Campus this November! ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช
