Maudabawn
| Our locality is hidden away in northeast Cavan surrounded on all sides by the Drumlins. Here in Maudabawn we have wonderful school with one hundred and sixty two pupils and seven teachers. We also have a cultural centre, which regularly hosts history talks and has excellent computer facilities. Other community enterprises include Gallonray house. The facilities here include a lounge, playgroup, ballroom and a meeting room. Our local football pitch Boyle park is the place where many locals spend there spare time. Here they play and watch many football games. During break-times at school pupils take full advantage of the school football pitch. The GAA is a main part of most peoples lives in this area. Thanks to the GAA this community has been brought closer together. In our school all of the teachers encourage Gaelic football. Our local GAA teams have won many cups and awards but it would be lovely if the collection were to be doubled in size. |
SCHOOL LEAGUES
| Towards the end of our school year we hold school leagues. Pupils from 3rd -6th class get involved in the fun. There is usually four teams in girls and boys leagues. We play rounders with Mrs. Maguire, Basketball with Ms. Mc Eneaney, Football with Mr Mc Caffery and athletics with Master Farrell. The boy,s and girls swap each week so one week we are playing football and the next week you play basketball, etc. We pick names for each team, such as The Unbelievables, Mc Cools Warriors, Breifne Blues, Mighty Bunch, etc. In the year 2001 the Mighty Bunch won. |
Under 14's
| The U14 have won 2 games and lost two matches. Full back Pauric Mc Gorry also plays with the under 14's. He is a great player. Eamon Mc Cluskey is also a great player, he can run forever.
