St Patrick's College Chess Team played their second round match against Carrick on Shannon Secondary School on Friday 31st March. It was a tight game for all the contendors with St Pat's winning the round by one table. Ronan Burke (table 3) won convincingly against Aylan Aherne. St Pat's Sean Carroll (table 1) lost his match just seconds after to Darren Mc Greevy, Carrick on Shannon. The next two matches lasted only a couple of minutes longer with Pauric Barry (table 4)loosing his match and Samuel Brady (table 2) winning his. The games were tied by the rules which state that the last table (table 4) is to be knocked off in the event of a tie. This meant that St Pat's were victorious and therefore go through to the next round. Congratulations to Sean Carroll, Samuel Brady, Ronan Burke and Pauric Barry, St Pat's. The Carrick on Shannon team included Darren Mc Greevy, Brendan Feely, Aylan Aherne and Conor Cunniffe.
Six third year students from St Patrick's College recently took part in an exchange with Splatin-Gymnasium in Altenburg (near Leipzig).Our students were accompanied on this trip by five Loreto College students. The Irish students stayed with German host families and enjoyed many cultural and leisure activities organised by their German friends - including a visit to a medieval castle, a history museum, an aqua park and a days shopping in Leipzig. The students got the opportunity to go to their first opera, Puccini's Tosca and also attended school for two days.
Ms Derval Carolan from St Patrick's College and Ms Maria Finn and Ms Claire Harrington from Loreto College accompanied the students on what is intended to be the first of many visits to our friends in Altenburg.
