Water Polo All Ireland Schools Championship

ALL IRELAND SCHOOLS CHAMPIONSHIP

Our SENIOR WATER POLO TEAM participated in the 2016 ALL-IRELAND SENIOR WATER POLO CUP in Belfast on Wednesday 24^th February 2016.  The Team qualified from a tough group but lost in the Quarter-Final to the eventual winners, Colaiste Iognáid from Galway.

The Squad was very young with all the players back next year – Robert Sheedy, Rolf Jager, Ian Leavy, Ronan Mullen, Mark O’Connor, Joe McIntyre, Charlie Lawless, Ricardo Mei (all 5^th Year), Stephen Ryan (4^th Year) and Max Connolly, Theo Stevens-Kehoe and Max McKenna (all 3^rd Year).

I thank Team Manager Ben Lawlor (Class of 2015) who travelled to Belfast in the absence of Coach Kevin Healy.

Finally, we congratulate Max Connolly on his selection for the Irish U17 team which competed in London in a Home Nation’s event last weekend 5^th/6^th March, and will play in a 12 Nations’ European event in Austria this month.  We wish him well.
