Danske Bank Treanor Cup semi-final St Patrick’s Keady 4-12 St Eunan’s Letterkenny 0-12 AFTER playing into the stiff breeze in the first half of this Danske Bank Treanor Cup semi-final yesterday, St Patrick’s Keady led St Eunan’s Letterkenny by 3-4 to 0-8. From half-time onwards it was simply a matter of preventing goals and keeping the score-board ticking for the south Armagh side to reach the final. The Keady full-forward line of Ethan Connolly, Eoghan Mallon and Kai O’Hara were a threat throughout while Cathair Donnelly worked tirelessly up and down the pitch. At the back Odhrán McGeary and Paul óg McGee were solid while Shane McCauley and Shea McGuigan worked hard in midfield. St Eunan’s were heavily reliant on Cathal Doherty and the corner forward didn’t disappoint with a range of scores that included three two pointers, one of them from a free. However he hadn’t the overall support that the Keady full-forwards enjoyed. The first half goals did the damage with Ethan Connolly and then Kai O’Hara (twice) hitting the Letterkenny net to break Doherty’s sequence of points at the other end. The wind assisted with the flow of Keady points during the second half, while Connolly’s second goal in the 48th minute clinched victory. The second semi-final takes place on Monday. It’s a Tyrone derby between St Joseph’s Donaghmore and Dean Maguirc College Carrickmore St Patrick’s: K O’Hara 2-3, E Connolly 2-1, E Mallon and C Donnelly 0-2, Z Hughes, C Corr, L Martin and P óg McGee 0-1each St Eunan’s: C Doherty 0-10, O Daly 0-2

Well-Being Hampers Donation Initiative - to our local hospice and nursing homes. Thank you especially to our senior students Piaras and Shea for your willingness to give your time and effort to support others. “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2) As senior members of the school community, your leadership, generosity, and sense of responsibility set a powerful example for others. This initiative is not only a meaningful way to give back, but also an opportunity to show compassion and solidarity with those who may be going through difficult times particularly those who may be experiencing loneliness or health challenges. The care and thought put into preparing the hampers will bring comfort, warmth, and kindness to many people. Your efforts and kindness demonstrate the values of empathy and community spirit that are central to St Patrick’s High School. These hampers will help to bring comfort, care, and a sense of connection to members of our local community.

We are very proud of our pupils Eimear and Cadhla. Eimear collected her second camogie All-Star in two years following her successful performances for our school senior camogie team. Receiving an All-Star is a reflection of Eimear’s commitment, dedication and work rate on and off the field. Cadhla represented our school as the Senior Camogie team’s captain who were proud winners of the Senior A Shield; a very successful year for both girls, the team and the management. Well done 🏆 ❤️
