TIPPERARY CUMANN NA MBUNSCOL AGM
Sincere thanks to all of the teachers who were present at our AGM in Hayes’ Hotel Thurles last Monday night.
TIPPERARY SUPPORTERS CLUB MASCOT
Gary Quirke aged 11 is a 5th class pupil in Mount Bruis N.S. and plays U12 and U14 with his club Lattin-Cullen/Aherlow. A bit of an all-rounder Gary plays at midfield and full-forward in hurling while in football he plays at half-back and also midfield taking the frees in both codes. His club Lattin-Cullen/Aherlow hold a memorial blitz each year in memory of his late brother Alan and this year Lattin Cullen/Aherlow won the blitz with Gary captaining his side. Some of his favourite Tipperary players include John ‘Bubbles’ O’Dwyer, Pádraic Maher and Séamus Callanan and Gary is delighted that he has been chosen as the Tipperary Supporters Club Mascot on Sunday. Congratulation Gary on being the Tipperary mascot and we hope you and your family have a great day.

Reports can be a great writing topic for the classroom and are an opportunity for children to see their work published for a wider audience. In the pre-season championship build-up children could be given the chance to tell about their own training regiments and tips for the coming championship. A Reporter of the Week will be chosen and their work included in the weekly report. Please ensure all reports are a single paragraph in Verdana 10 type. All submissions should be proof-read by the teacher before submission.
