Our Active School Flag team organised a series of silent discos for the school. They will take place until the end of the day. They are going very well so far!
Our first year basketball team travelled to Monaghan on the 7th of May and faced Castleblaney College in the All Ireland quarter final. A tense and challenging encounter followed but we triumphed by 3 points. Our luck ran out in the semi final, however. A 7 point loss against Scoil Dara, Kilcock ended our journey for this year. Well done to all involved, including student coaches, Ciara and Joyce.
Congratulations to Ms Cooney and Ms Byrne on an amazing night’s entertainment, celebrating 80 fabulous years of Maryfield.
Day 2 of the East Leinsters was dominated by sprint events for Maryfield athletes. Ines Jauny won the 100m, with teammate, Ariana Silvestre coming fourth. Fourth was a popular placing for our pupils, as Heidi McDonnell and Aisling Foley both finished there, in the junior and minor finals respectively. Meanwhile, our first year team made the final of the relay.
It was a great day at the East Leinsters today. Highlights included our senior relay team winning their final and Ariana Silvestre coming second in the long jump.
