2022 Lurga's Sports Day
What a magical day, the first sports day in over 2 years where the whole school could mix with each other and there was no mention of bubbles or pods. It was wonderful to see the older students interact with the younger students. Laughter filled the air. Thank you to all the staff who organised such a great day.
Even teachers wanted to join in the fun
The icing on the cake was the yummy well needed cones so very kindly sponsored by Ronnie & Diane Giblin. Every single child and adult in Lurga wish to thank them so much for their generous perfect gift.
Clarin College Athenry National Schools
Hurling & Camogie Invitational Tournaments 2022
24th & 25th March 2022
Kenny Park, Athenry.
The inaugural Camogie & Hurling Tournaments were held in Clarin's College Athenry for over 600 school children, which was played over two days.
The Boys were 8 a-side, with the Girls being 7 a-side, and the event for the two days was organised to the highest of standards. As Rory Gantley said "To see more than 600 school children playing over the two days was a thrill for all of us, especially after what they have endured over the past two years. Their enthusiasm, energy and joy was wonderful to witness and certainly gave all of us a special feeling here in the school."

Congratulations to the 2022 winners, Lackagh NS and Craughwell NS. The standard of hurling and camogie from all of the schools was extremely high. Our Lurga girls fought with determination, skill and team spirit, winning 2 out of the 4 games. Our Boys were heartbreakingly beaten in the final by 1 point, in the dying seconds of the game by a goal. We cannot have been more proud of all our students who partook over the two days.
Thank you to Rory Gantley and all involved in organising this very successful event, the children got to see the new school campus and facilities in Athenry and loved their chicken rolls.
