Rugby


A man called Paul was playing rugby games with us.
It was great fun. I wish we could do it again. We were playing stuck in the mud and using our toaster pop to pass the ball. We will be able to play rugby when we are older.

Buddy Reading

Everyday we do buddy reading. We like to because it’s fun. We get a new one book every second day. The book I have now is Jack and the beanstalk .It’s funny. They are a bit hard. I like reading. Everybody does. I like to read to my friends and they like reading to me. My friend John has the same book as me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mayo is playing Donegal on Sunday. I think Mayo should win because we haven’t won since 1951. I hope we win because we are a good team. We won against Dublin so we might beat Donegal. They are playing in Croke Park. Donegal are very good but we might have a chance to win. I hope that we win the Sam Maguire – that’s the name of the trophy.

By Padraig

Mayo are going to play Donegal in the final in Croke Park in Dublin on the 23rd. I am so happy that they made it to the final because I support them. I hope Mayo win because they haven’t won since 1951, 61 years ago.
I can’t wait to see the game!
On Friday we had to dress up in Green and Red and bring in 2 euro for the Mato team. I wore my red t-shirt, jersey, green trousers, my red converse and sprayed my hands and my hair green.
Some people made dresses out of Mayo flags and some people just wore green and red t-shirts and trousers. I enjoyed the day. The competition is for all the schools in Mayo. We might have a chance of winning a ticket to the match!

Up Mayo!

Mayo will be playing Donegal in the Sam MaGuire final in a week. Mayo didn’t win an all Ireland since 1951. We hope they win we have hopes for them. Me and Padraig are praying for them. Me and Padraigs favourite player is Alan Dillion he’s the captain as well. They worked hard all the way to the final. UP MAYO!!

Look at the great Mayo men we made today. We think they might scare Donegal away!

Craobh Ceannais na hÉireann ~ The All Ireland Football Final

Beidh Co. Maigh Eo ag imirt in aghaidh Co. Dún na nGall i gcraobh ceannis na hÉireann ar an 23ú lá de Meán Fomhair. Tá súil againn go mbeidh an bua ag Maigh Eo. Ní raibh bua ag Maigh Eo ó 1951 agus síleann muid go bhfuil bua tuillte againn anois.

Mayo will be playing against Donegal in the All Ireland Football Final in Croke Park on the 23rd September. Mayo haven’t won the final since 1951 and so we are all hoping that Mayo will win.

There is an account here of how Mayo have fared in All Ireland finals since 1916 here.

We have been looking at the Mayo logo and it shows Croagh Patrick, Co. Mayo where St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland built his church. People often go on pilgrimmage to Croagh Patrick. We call it the ‘The Reek’. The logo also shows nine yew trees. Maigh Eo means the plain of the yew trees and each tree stands for a barony. We live in the Barony of Erris.

 Tá muid ag cleachtadh ‘The Green and Red of Mayo’ ó na Saw Doctors. Tá an amhrán le fáíl anseo:

 

 

We are looking at some interesting facts about the GAA and football in Ireland here. You can download this booklet from the GAA here: http://www.crokepark.ie/getmedia/eefdc605-63f5-4cc4-a2d4-97df8ba8473a/Final-2.pdf
