⚽ Community Sport • Transition Year Leadership And That’s a Wrap! TY Volunteers Complete Fantastic FAI Primary 5s Season 8 April 2025 After months of incredible action, our students have officially wrapped up their time volunteering at the FAI Mayo Primary 5s competition at Umbro Park, Milebush. It has been an amazing few months on the sidelines and pitches for our Transition Years, who braved the elements, managed logistics, and refereed hundreds of games to support grassroots primary school football in the region. ⚽ On to the Connacht Finals A massive congratulations goes out to every single primary school that traveled to Milebush and competed with such great sporting spirit throughout the tournament stages. The standard of football this year was exceptional, and we want to wish the very best of luck to all the qualifying Mayo teams who have earned their spots and are now moving forward to represent the county in the upcoming Connacht Finals! 🤝 Proud of Our Leaders A huge thank you to our students for their dedication, reliability, and leadership over the last few months. Programs of this scale simply cannot run without community volunteer support, and our TYs represented the school brilliantly every single week. Well done to all involved on a fantastic and impactful season! ⚽🧤👏 ×

⚽ Youth Sport • TY Leadership & Officiating TY Leaders Shine at FAI Schools Primary 5s Regional Qualifiers 14 February 2025 Fourteen of our fantastic Transition Year students had a highly productive, busy, and thoroughly enjoyable week assisting at the FAI Mayo 5-a-side Primary Schools competition. It was another monumental week for the tournament, which saw over 750 energetic primary school students competing across the intense West and South Mayo Regional Qualifiers. Our TY students took a central role on the sidelines and pitches, ensuring matches ran smoothly, officiating fixtures, and supporting the young players throughout the days. 🤝 Community & Club Partnership A tournament of this massive scale succeeds entirely on collaboration, and a huge well-done goes to all the participating players, dedicated teachers, and schools who traveled to make the qualifiers so competitive. Special thanks are extended to the TY cohorts from Davitt College, Sacred Heart School, and Rice College for their brilliant leadership and peer support. We also want to give a massive shout-out to Westport United FC and the Mayo Football League for acting as superb, welcoming hosts and providing top-tier facilities for the games. 📅 What’s Next? The regional action isn’t slowing down! The tournament shifts focus immediately after the weekend, moving directly on to the East Mayo Regional Qualifiers, which kick off from Tuesday onward. Best of luck to all the primary teams and the coordinators involved! Well done to our brilliant Transition Year leaders on representing Davitt College with such distinction! ⚽🧤👏 ×
