There’s an old Ballykinklar saying…. ”Strike while the Iron is hot!” and that’s exactly what Saint Joseph’s pupils did on Thursday night as they reached for the gold on their annual Sports day. Just like Theresa May calling a snap election after the Brexit vote, Saint Joseph’s called an early Sports day due to the unnaturally hot May weather and unlike the afore mentioned Mrs May, Saint Joe’s did get the right result! Although there wasn’t much sun, the racing was as hot as the day itself.
The large crowd was held spellbound by the sporting prowess of the athletes who had been on a tight training schedule since the news of an early games had broken!
As always the Barbeque was a great success after some initial teething problems….Mrs McGuire’s eyebrows apparently will grow back. A big thanks to Barry, The hard working Mc Veigh, of the school and Mr Mc Cabe, who rushed to the rescue and made sure no man, woman or child went home hungry.
The night passed without a blemish. The only causality, the lack of Tombola, but to ease his Tombola addiction it is rumoured that on the way home Mr Mc Veigh stopped and bought himself, a vase, a toy car , some cosmetics and a Bottle of wine. In fact these items turned out to be cheaper than the money he usually spends on tickets to win them!
Well there’s always next year!
