Mayo Spike Ball Competition January 2016

Today our school took part in the Mayo Spikeball competition which was held in Charlestown Complex. Our school entered 3 teams, 2 mixed teams and an al girls team.

We had great success with our teams and it was a very entertaining and enjoyable day for all involved.

Our mixed teams were placed in two separate groups with 3 in each group. 
In Pool A, St Patrick's NS 1 played off against St Attracta's NS 1 (Charlestown) and Tavneena NS. 

In Pool B, St Patrick's NS 2 played off against St Attracta's NS 2 (Charlestown) and Gortskehy NS.

Both of our mixed teams progressed through to a play-off where they had to face each other! After a hard fought game St Patrick's NS 1 progressed through to the Connaught Finals to be held in mid-ate February in Galway (Venue to be confirmed) 

Our girls team had a great day progressing to the play-off final where they were narrowly defeated by Scoil Raifteiri of Castelbar. The girls played Scoil Raifteiri NS, Gortskehy NS and St Attracta's NS.

Spikeball 2015.

On Tuesday 10th March 2015 we travelled to Loughrea to play in the Connacht Spikeball  finals.




Spikeball is a variation of volleyball which is widely played in primary and secondary schools throughout Ireland. It is a very inclusive game where all members of the team get a turn in each position on the court during the duration game.

Each year TY students come to coach the senior pupils. Although we have only been playing the game for 4 years, the school has had teams at the national finals once and progressed to the Connacht Finals on three occasions. This year 2015, our senior mixed team are Mayo champions, for the 2nd year in a row, and are to represent Mayo in the Connacht finals in Loughrea in March.
