<p><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"><strong>Colaiste Mhuire Presentation day</strong> is a very special day in our school community. The Catholic Church celebrates the feast of the Presentation of Mary in the Temple. It highlights the holiness of Mary from the beginning of her life on earth that continued through her early childhood and beyond.</span></p>

<p>We had a Prayer Service via Teams, Fr. Jim Moore-Diocesan Secretary, led our Prayer Service. We are keeping Fr Tom McDermott, in our thoughts and prayers at the moment and we look forward to welcoming him back in the New Year. Mr Buckley spoke about living out the Presentation ethos in his life through his work with the Red Cross. And to end, there was a video message from Br. Martin. Our staff were treated to some sweet treats from Wholey Ground in Cobh.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>We also launched our new School Instagram Page. This page will run in conjunction with our school FB/App and Website and share the same content. @colaistemuirecobh if you wish to give it a follow!</p>

<p>The U16 Boys Gaelic Football team had their first game of the year at home vs Coláiste Éamonn Rís, Cork last week.  After a slow start to the match, our lads kickstarted into life courtesy of Billy, with a darting 60yard solo run, he effortlessly finished into the Éamonn Rís net.&nbsp;</p>
<p>A Sean O’ K free followed by a poachers finish from Gearoid O'D widened the gap on the scoreboard. Alex O’M with a tally of 2-1 was a constant threat to the Deerpark fullback line all morning. Inspirational blocks and intercepting tackles from full-back Evan W. set the tone for Colaiste Muire's performance. Evan and Alex’s tenacious work rate at midfield set the foundations for a 4-2 to 0-4 half time scoreline. The second half saw a spirited fightback from Éamonn Rís but they were unable to convert this work rate in front of the posts.</p>
<p>Brandon finished to the Éamonn Rís net after a wonderful team move. All panel members saw some game time today. Standout performances today from Alex O’ R, Evan W and Alex O’ M. Well done to all on a great team performance. <span style="color: rgb(184,49,47);">Report-Mr. Doonan -   </span><span style="color: rgb(41,105,176);">Thank you Sir. </span></p>
