OLV FOOTBALL TEAM 2016-2017

27/6/2017

 
Hi! My name is Elizabeth Luca and I'm about to tell you about our football team!

This team was formed in October 2016. It might have been cold but it was worth it.

Ms.Callinan and Ms.Ferriter were our coaches and the 5th & 6th classes took part.

We trained after school at 2:30 at the boys pitch with our trainer Gerry. He helped us with a lot of skills that were hard initially but soon we got the hang of them!!

Miss Callinan and Miss Ferriter wanted to make a football team because we didn't have a football team in our school for a long time. I thought it was a great idea because a lot of people interested in sport would join.

It was great being a football team member. We were entered into a football league! The people organising the league got mixed up and they entered us in Division 4! It was very hard but we never gave up. Sadly we didn't win any matches in Division 4 but at least we tried and we grew stronger as a team!

About a month later teacher told us some exciting news! We got into the Football Blitz! I was really excited when I got picked to go. When it was finally the time to go we got on the bus with some other schools and headed off. When we arrived at Ballymun Kickham's ground everyone ran out heading to the field. After that the referee came up to us and told us that we were playing our first match. A while later we were finished playing the matches and waited to see what happened next. The referee came back and told us we were in the final! We could barely believe it! We practiced for a bit and when it was time we were ready! The other team were really tough opposition. They won but we really tried our best! We had to sit down for a presentation and listen to the bus manager and Mr Christie speak. We then got medals and sweets on the way home. It was great fun.At least we made it into the final and won our first ever match! We were so thrilled and Ms.Callinan was so so proud of us!

I really would recommend for others to join our team next year. It was really fun playing the leagues and blitz. I can't wait to resume training next year!
 Come on OLV ladies!

Goodbye ,
Elizabeth Luca
