Track-Attack Club Notes

Cashel to Cualáns
 
On Friday 28th of February, Track-Attacker Baiba Vilande is going to take on the challenge of running from the Rock of Cashel to Scoil Naomh Cualán in Borrisoleigh.
Baiba is doing the 32km fundraising challenge for Scoil Naomh Cualán as she wants to thank the school for all the care and education that they’ve given to her children Elizabete and Ralfs.
Baiba is a hugely popular and important member of our Track-Attack club and has been a huge addition to our organising committee.
We would encourage all our club members and supporters to click on the attached link and support Baiba in whatever way you can.
The very best of luck to you Baiba….

Hi all,

I’ve been tasked with compiling and writing a history of GAA activity in the primary schools, e.g. North Finals/ County Finals, Primary Game, INTO mini sevens etc.

The more recent history is fairly well documented, however older records are sparse. I don’t want to leave anyone out!

If you are aware of any noteworthy GAA related facts from 1987 to present in relation to Fantane NS, St Theresa’s GNS, St Patrick BNS or Scoil Naomh Cualán please get in contact with me at scoilnaomhcualan@gmail.com. Or you can drop photos, newspaper cuttings etc. into the school and I’ll photocopy or scan what’s needed.  

I’m looking for photos of teams, photos of Primary Game representatives, write ups from finals, coaches that were involved over the years, pupils who went on to represent Tipperary in the various codes, GAA quiz winners etc.

Many thanks for your help,

Michael Small
