They boarded the Jeanie Johnston where they met Chantelle the Mermaid, cousin to Ariel and the captain of the ship – Keith Duffy!!

5-a-side Tournament
Our 5-a-side team (plus 3 subs.) took part in a 34 team competition in Irishtown on Wednesday May 2nd. We topped our group by winning our 4 games. We were knocked out at the quarter-final stage by the eventual winners Quarryvale. We gave them their toughest game of the day. Well played Kuba, Aaron, Aaron, Adam, Ceilim, Jake, Dylan and Igor. Most teams competing fielded only 6th class players so we did really well considering we had players from 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th in our squad of 8.
Here they are after topping our group:
