Our Transition Year students were back in action this week, showcasing outstanding leadership, coordination, and sporting spirit at the FAI Schools Primary 5s Central Section Qualifiers.

The tournament kicked off with immense energy at Umbro Park, Milebush, as over 30 primary school teams arrived in Castlebar for two brilliant days of fast-paced, high-scoring action. Davitt College once again took a central role in making the event a massive success, with our TY coordinators managing pitch logistics, refereeing high-intensity fixtures, and keeping the tournament running like clockwork.

❄️ Weather Update & Upcoming Fixtures

While the opening days delivered fantastic football, the elements ultimately had the final say later in the week. Thursday and Friday’s scheduled qualifiers unfortunately fell foul of the unseasonal snow and will be rescheduled for a later date.

The tournament will briefly pause for the mid-term break, but the action resumes immediately afterwards as the blitzes head out to the West and East section qualifiers.

🤝 Outstanding Leadership from Davitt College

Organisers extended a huge thank you to Davitt College and our incredible TY students for their brilliant, unwavering support again this year. Stepping up to mentor younger players, officiate matches fairly, and represent our school community so professionally on a regional stage is a credit to everyone involved.

We look forward to seeing our TY team back on the sidelines when the rescheduled fixtures and regional phases kick off after the break! ⚽🏆🔴🟢👏
