Athletics...

On Jan 26th 2012 on a very mild Wednesday in January,  our HCK athletes participated in a Cross Country event at Avondale house, Rathdrum Co. Wicklow. It was yet another superb display of the athletic ability and commitment from our HCK students.  Our results were outstanding considering over 100 participants competing for their school in each category. We are very proud of our students, congratulations and well done! The Leinster Cross Country event is scheduled for February 8th, 2012. Any parent interested in helping at the event, please let us know.

The following are the results on the day with the top 25th recorded

On Jan 28th HCK will host a Track and Field Clinic from 10:00am to 12 noon. If you are interested in representing the HCK in the East Leinsters please plan on attending. Check out the sports board for a list of events. 

On a cold December day HCK cross country athletes were again in action at St. Paul’s invitational event in Raheny. The results were outstanding. The seniors took gold with Sarah Keane coming in 1st place overall and Zoe Carroll coming in 2nd overall. The Inter team also took Gold with Eilish Keogh coming in 2nd overall. The Juniors took silver with Julia Healy coming in 2nd overall and the minors took 3rd with Hannah O’Neill taking 3rd overall. Many thanks to Rosanna Baker for all the time and work she has put forth in coaching these talented athletes.

1st Year Hockey

There are 52 first years playing hockey this season. They train twice a week with Deirdre Mathews and Gordon Watkins and are working very hard learning all the basic hockey skills that they will need to become great players. This season the Leinster league has decided to change the format of the first year leagues. The first year A team will compete in a first year 11 a-side competitive league and the rest of the players will play 8 a-side non competitive friendlies. This will allow more players to play smaller games.

The first year A team started their leinster league campaign with a great 1-0 win v Our Ladys Terenure. A very close match in the first half but our first year team grew stronger and Tara O'Donnell scored the only goal midway through second half. This week they play St Raphaelas in their next league match.  The B1 and B2 teams are also progressing with victories over Sion Hill, Gerards and Foxrock.

Senior B Rise above the Rain

Despite having to stop and shelter from heavy rain during the match HCK Senior B played out the only game of the weekend.  A slow start from us allowed Loreto Bray to get used to the wet conditions first and we found ourselves down a goal but some superb play between Sarah Keane and Isobel Demery resulted in Isobel scoring a fine goal.  A number of attacks from Katie Cahill and Aisling Murray required Bray's GK to make numerous fine saves, including a superb effort from the top of the circle from Cathy Caslin.  The match continued in the downpours and despite our best efforts the result remained a 1-1 draw.  Well done girls. MVP = Isobel Demery
