THE MODEL SCHOOL 5TH/6TH CLASS TEAM WHO PLAYED THE SCHOOLS VERY FIRST HURLING MATCH V ST. JOHN'S SENIOR AT ST. JOHN'S PARK ON FEBRUARY 15TH.
By all accounts yesterdays afternoon's maiden encounter between these two sides was nothing short of entertaining. The Model School took to the field at St. John's Park for the very first time under the stewardship of Mr. Kearns (Andy)  and Ms. McLoughney (Tipp Camogie) and Mr. Norris. The St. John's Snr side prepared by the other Mr. Kearns (Eddie), Mr. Cooney and Principal , Mr. Brian Roche. 

Two matches were played out over the afternoon and with no reporter present we have to rely on the accounts of Messrs. Kearns, Andy & Eddie. According to the Model School Bainisteóir both games were very competitive with the 3rd/4th class teams resulting in a draw. Some top class hurling and skillful action on show to the sizeable support present. He conceded that St. Johns Snr got the better of his charges in the 5th/6th class match and was very proud of the way all the Model School players performed on their first day out.     However, according to the Chef d'Equip at St. John's Senior the 5th/6th game was a 'rout' and his lads won 'very easily'. The first 3rd/4th game was a draw alright but you get 'days like that'.  (looks like one brother might look to review his 'Managers' speak' for the press!!)

Of course we're only joking. It was a great afternoon and the results were one draw and a win for the combined forces of St. John's Snr School & Johnswell N.S. New faces were introduced to the game of hurling and credit to all involved as they have vowed to have rematches in a couple of weeks time.

Lovely Hurling...
