t. Brendan’s junior players trained every Tuesday in the school hall. Their coach, Mr. Fitzpatrick trained the team to improve their skills. The training paid off as the team won the league campaign and qualified for the cup. Unfortunately, they were later knocked out. Despite this, it was a successful season in the league even though the team was unlucky in the cup. The senior team trained every Thursday in the hall. Coach Fitzpatrick trained and prepared the team for the season ahead. They came second in the league campaign and qualified for the cup. The team progressed to the semi-finals but unfortunately lost, and took runner-up position in the cup. Both teams had training every Friday and all players worked very hard to achieve the best position in both the league and the cup campaigns. At the end of the season, Coach Fitzpatrick treated us to a pizza party in the school! It was a good season and all the players are working hard for the next season to be an even bigger success. Many thanks go to Coach Fitzpatrick for his time and expertise!!
