A great day was had on Tue 8th Oct as Murhur N.S. played in the 3 Teacher Cumann na mBunscol Quarter Final at a windswept Caherslee pitch in Tralee. A superb team performance and great credit goes to everyone who played on the day. The teamwork, work-rate and sportsmanship shown by each player on the pitch were the real highlights of today’s performance. A special mention and thank you to the Parents, who kindly gave of their time today.
And so the journey continues in this tournament for boys and girls of 4th 5th and 6th Class. They have now qualified for the Semi-Final of the 3 Teacher Cumann na mBunscol and everyone here at Murhur N.S. is so proud of them.
There were great celebrations in Murhur NS today as we were out in force to welcome home our triumphant Cumman na mBunscol team. Our boys and girls from 4th, 5th and 6th put on an excellent display of football and sportsmanship in the 3 Teacher final in O’Rahilly Park Ballylongford. They played Ballylongford in the first game and had a convincing win. In the next game they met a strong Asdee side, however, it was Murhur’s day and again went on to win with a score of 2.14 to 4.2. All taking part were a credit to themselves and their school, and an inspiration to the younger boys and girls who can’t wait to follow in their footsteps! Next round will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
Noreen Lynch retires after over 20 years in Murhur N.S. We wish her many years of good health, wealth and happiness in her retirement!

We are going on a mini-beast adventure……
We used bug collectors and magnifying glasses to find snails, worms, ants, caterpillars and beetles!
The excitement was up to the sky and back today for our annual Patrick Curtin Tournament 🏆 Last week we had the group stages and unfortunately the orange and jersey teams were knocked out. Today was a fine display of football, with two semi final games firstly, the red team versus the yellow team and then the blue team versus non-bibs team.
All teams fought hard but it was meant to be for the yellow 🟡 and blue 🔵 team to meet in the final. It was a super entertaining final with lots of goals. In the finish the blue team pulled away and took the win. Their captain Mark was proud to lift the trophy. Thank you so much to the club for the field, Eileen, Evelyn and family for coming and making the presentation, to Conor for reffing and to the parents for supporting us on the day. The players were outstanding, very disciplined, encouraging and conscious of younger players. Cadán took the "Sportsmanship Award" for his brilliant attitude. He quietly went about his business, encouraging his team and played brilliant football also.
Ah thank you so much to Lee Strand and to all our great community for dropping in milk tokens for this competition 👏🏼 This money will be put to great use!
