Boys’ Football Mini-League Final 23/11/2017
The ball was thrown in and immediately Ben Phelan got the ball and scored. After a few minutes it was 2-2 to no score. Andrews’s team were shocked by how Tommy’s team started but they quickly came back with a goal and a point. Then Donnacha Convery scored 2 goals to put Tommy’s team 4-2 to 1-1 ahead at half time. Half time passed quickly and the ball was thrown in a minute later. Ben batted the ball down and ran the length of the pitch and scored another great goal. Andrews’s team quickly reacted with a goal and a point from Bobbie Brennan this closed the margin but there was only a few minutes for Andrews’s team to come back. With 2 minutes left Andrews’s team scored a goal. It was now 5-2 to 3-2. Then Tommy’s team came back and scored a point to finish the game off. The referee blew the whistle and it was all over. Tommy’s team won on a score line of 5-3 to 3-2.

                                       School Football League 2014
The school football league was a great success again this year. We had five teams, each team captained by a 6th class student. The captains were Cathal McCurdy, Ian Kelly, Ciarán Byrne, Ryan Dennehy and Patrick Brennan. 
Well done to all the players who participated throughout the league from 4th to 6th class. The final was an exciting one! After 30 minutes of play we still had no result. It took, not one, but two finals to find the winning team. Congratulations to our eventual winners (above) captained by Ian Kelly and our runners up (above right), captained by Patrick Brennan, who made their task very difficult.

The Boys journey 2013

Allianz/Cumann na mBunscoil

 Oil Roinn B football league

 Gowran N.S.  started out with a great start to the league, drawing with Graigue/Skeogh in the first
round on the 11th of September 
on our pitch. In the second round we had a bye so nothing interesting
about that.

In the third round
we lost to KSP by about 2 goals on their pitch . In the fourth round we played
Dunnamaggin , it was a hard  battle
to the end on a wet miserable day but we broke away at the end and won the match
on our home pitch . In the fifth round we played Gaelscoil 
on their pitch, everybody played brilliantly  as
we hammered them.

In the sixth round we played home against Bennetsbridge and we
had a terrible loss, it was a real disappointment . 
 
In the seventh round we played Canices B team and we won that
too.

 The coaches of our team were Miss Phelan,  Miss
Hayes and Miss Murphy.They were very committed at  helping
us with our league so far this year!!!

Boy's Mini-League 2012

The boys played a school league amongst themselves. There were 4 teams and 8 on each team. The captains were Jack Brennan, Michael Walsh, Charles Farrell and Dan Nevin.

Jack and Michael’s team played first. Jack’s team won by just one point with Jack Brennan getting the goal to win the match.

The next match was between Charles and Dan. Charles’ team was trailing Dan’s team for the whole match. But in the last ten seconds of the match Seamus Farrell stepped up to take a free. It went in to the back of the net, and Charles’ team won by two points .

So the final day came. It was a sunny day. Charles’ team got a goal to start, with Jason Brennan scoring the first two points. But Jack returned with a goal and a point. Charles’ team were trailing by a lot at half time. Jack’s team dominated the second half. Charles’ team only scored one point coming from Charles. The final score was 0-3 to 4-10. Charles’ team were devastated. It was a very good year for football. And a very good mini- league for Gowran N.S.
