The boys of Tiermohan and Newtown progressed in the senior league today, by defeating Allen NS 1-4 to 0-4. In a wonderful game on a beautiful sunny day, the Cappagh boys matched the Allen boys point for point in a thrilling game. When we scored a lucky goal in the second half, we hoped we were home and dry. However, Allen came back again with another point. The time ran out and we emerged the victors.
Last week, the game against Rathcoffey was a draw. The Cappagh boys were marvellous in both halves and really, neither team deserved to lose. A draw was a fair result to both teams.The final score was 3-6 to Cappagh to 2-9 to Rathcoffey

The boys of Tiermohan proved to be worthy winners of the basketball league trophy. In a thrilling final held in Kilcullen, the boys pulled ahead of rivals, Clogherincoe, to finish 21-9. Many thanks to parents/drivers and supporters. Many thanks also to Joe O' Connor for organising the league.

The children in 5th and 6th classes had a wonderful day at the Young Scientist Exhibition on Friday 9th last. Before the exhibition, the children discussed the sense of smell of males and females. They formed the opinion that males and females had an equally good sense of smell. They tested this theory using ten common kitchen items, including coffee and ketchup.
*They displayed their work during the exhibition amd tested invited members of the public to take part in the test, which they titled "How do you smell?!!" In total they tested 68 males and 94 females. The average score for males was 7.3 and 7.6 for females, proving that females have a better sense of smell!
Many thanks to R Maher and D Curran for their help during the day.

The children in Tiermohan were very busy creating Christmas cards. These card will be sold at the Christmas Bazaar organised by the Parents' Council for Sunday November 30th after 10.30am Mass in Newtown Church.
