Well done to all involved in the Boys Senior Gaelic today. In a sun scorched Abbotstown the team met Loughshinny NS in the final of the Fingal League. In a very tight game Milverton came out on top with a 2-7 to 2-5 win.
The boys and girls on the team deserve huge credit for their sportsmanship throughout the season. Thanks to all parents, grandparents and brothers and sisters for all their support. The team retired to the Hills Cricket Club after the match to celebrate.
Thanks to Mr McGuinness and Mr Tyndall for all their work with the teams this year.
Well done to the boys cricket team on winning through to the Semi-Finals of the Leinster Cricket Super League. They won a closely contested quarter final against Rush in the MCG on Wednesday 16th of May.

Best of luck to the Boys Senior Gaelic team on Thursday when they take part in the Fingal League Final. The venue has been changed to Abbotstown due to works in Parnell Park. The opposition are our near neighbours Loughshinny and throw in time is 1:30pm. There is a 5 Euro entry charge for adults. Children are 2 Euro but this cost will be covered by the school. There is no charge for the bus.
Only the players and the siblings of players on the team (Junior-6th) will be travelling on the team bus. Parents are travelling by car and can collect their children from the bus on arrival at the ground. The bus will be leaving the school at approx 11:50. The bus will return to the school after the game but children may go home with their parents from Abbotstown.
We hope the bus will be back to the school by approx 4pm.
The venue is in the GAA centre of excellence on the National Sports Campus in Abbotstown -near the National Aquatic centre-.

Well done to the Girl's Cricket team that traveled to Malahide on Monday to play St. Andrew's. In a very sporting game St. Andrew's came out on top. All the players got to bat for 3 overs and anyone who wanted to bowl was able to. A few players tried out the game for the first time as well. So a great day.
Tuesday 1st May
The Girls Junior Gaelic team played their final group match on Tuesday. In a cracking game between the teams Gael Scoil Baile Brigin came out on top by 2 points. This is the end of the group stage for the girls. It was a year of many firsts: our first year fielding a girls team, a first time playing Gaelic football for many girls and our first win. Well done girls and thanks to Mr McGuinness for all his hard work running the team.
Thursday 3rd May
Well done to the Boys Cricket Team on their second Super League victory today. The game took place in Margaretstown Cricket Club (MCG) and the opposition were St. Oliver Plunkett's Malahide. This was a real case of David vs Goliath in terms of schools. The opposition has over 900 students, while Milverton has only 93 pupils.
However a superb team performance saw Milverton come out on top. The final score was:
Milverton 128-1, 20 overs
St. Oliver Plunkett's. 76-9, 20 overs
