We wish a restful and enjoyable Hallowe'en break to all fans and contributors to this blog. After the break we shall do a round up of the district's footballing activities.

Brid Stack stands in the shadow (excuse the glare) of our Interactive Whiteboard. The webpage, based on an extract from this year's All-Ireland programme profiles Brid's achievements as a Cork player.

The Brendan Martin Cup is the highest accolade in Ladies' Gaelic Football. On Monday last star Cork Footballer, Brid Stack from Rockchapel brought the trophy to our school.

Here two admiring pupils get a feel of the Brendan Martin Trophy.

Mr.Batt O'Keeffe TD, Minister of Education and Science presents a framed customised Knockaclarig NS. jersey to Mr. Fredrik Ollson, Swedish e-Twinning Co-ordinator in the Sweden-Ireland partnership. Minister O'Keeffe personally welcomed the Swedish delegation to Knockaclarig NS. The Minister also launched the mobility module of this highly successful project which was awarded an European Quality Label in September 2008. National sports in the respective countries are vital strands in these European projects and what better example than Gaelic games.

Minister O'Keeffe, of course is no stranger to Red and White jerseys having played with distinction in several grades for his native County Cork.

Fredrik Ollson e-Twinning Co-ordinator at Vindangen PS. and students Mathias and Gustav meet with Loughfouder NS. Principal and Secretary of Castleisland Cumann na mBunscol, the well known Michael Herlihy.

Loughfouder NS. avenged last year's defeat by Knockaclarig NS. with a very good victory on a scoreline of 4-11 to 1-8 on this occasion.

Knockaclarig NS.IRELAND Captain Patrick and Vindangen PS. SWEDEN Captain Mathias sort out the jerseys prior to their football match which was played at the Brosna GAA Grounds and caused great excitement.
