Well done to our two GAA Teams who competed in the Glór Ceatharlach GAA competitions in the Eire Óg clubgrounds this week. Both teams performed very well and as always were a credit to St Fiacc’s with their great behaviour. The girls topped their group and narrowly lost in the Semi- Finals where the boys played very well against the Gaelscoil and Castledermot N.S.
