National Champs from St Leonards National School ! On 21st March, 2 teams from St Leonards NS travelled to UL to compete in the volleyball nationals. Hopes were high for both teams, they had trained hard all year and were ready to compete. Both teams won all their games in the group phase. Confidence was high going into the quarter-finals, which they both won easily and winning their semi-finals meant both teams were into the finals! The boys faced Briarhill from Galway and the mixed faced Kerry opposition Spa NS. Both teams started nervously, the boys falling behind for the first time all day. The mixed had similar fortunes and their coaches were encouraging both sides to settle. Both teams did and scores were level for both games. Unfortunately for the mixed team, Spa NS hit a purple patch and closed out the game 25-19.Despite being disappointed, they immediately turned to cheer on the boys who had taken control of their game. When the magic number of 25 was reached, the boys and mixed team celebrated together. Their coaches, Ms Delahunty and Ms O Dwyer were proud to see both teams receive their medals before heading back to Dunnamaggin. On the way, they stopped for food, arriving back at the school, wrecked but delighted. It’s never easy to win All-Ireland medals and for both teams to do so was truly amazing!
