Taekwondo Challenge by Noah

Noah travelled to Kildare on the 22nd May for a Taekwondo challenge.  The difference in a competition and a challenge is that in a challenge if you don’t win you get another two spars.  Before the challenges began the black belts from the Irish Olympic team showed them what they would do when they move up to higher grades.  Noah had 2 spars – he lost one and won one.  Scott and Rhys were also competing.  Scott won 2 spars and lost one and Rhys lost one.  Noah won a medal for his challenge.  Congratulations Noah!

Football Final – by Daniel

On the 19th May Daniel and his football team Glaslough Villa travelled to Monaghan Astro to play Cavan Shamrocks in the final.  When they played them before they lost against them twice.  Cavan Shamrocks were leading 1-0 in the extra time of the first half.  In the extra time in the second half, Glaslough Villa scored leaving it 1-1.  The goalie for Glaslough Villa was excellent and saved so many shots.  It went to penalties.   Daniel’s goalie made 3 saves and the Cavan goalie saved 2.   We didn’t realise we had won until the ref told us.  We went cheering across the pitch.  It was a great win.  Congratulations Daniel!
