In the KSP we have a school
hurling team. Mr. Weadick is our trainer. He
trains us four days a week. In 2005/2006 we won
some of the matches but we lost some of them also. We
got to the county quarter-final but were beaten by
Graiguenamanagh. Brian Ryan, the county coach, comes to the
school, once per month, to help us with our hurling. He
also helps us out with football. During training we do many different hurling exercises. These
include running around cones and indoor hurling as well. Some
of the skills we learn are:
gripping the hurl
ground
hurling
raising
the ball up and down
hand
passing to each other
pucking
the ball out
practising
frees, sidelines etc.
jostling
for the ball
Sixth Class
pupil, William Murphy, won our Hurler of the Year Award for
2006. Brendan Dowling was our top scorer.

In
the KSP we also do both Gaelic Football and Girls' Gaelic
Football. The school Gaelic Football team plays against other
schools from the County. In 2004, 2005 and 2006 we got to the
County Final but unfortunately lost all matches. We'll try
again this year !. Our Player of the Year for 2005/2006
was Tim Kealy.
The
Girls' Gaelic Football team also plays teams from around
Kilkenny. In 2003, we won the INTO Mini Sevens
Competition for Kilkenny. Laura Rose was picked to play
Gaelic Football in Croke PArk at half-time in the Aoll Ireland
Final that year. Our Player of the Year for
2005/2006 was Aoife O'Donnell.
