Limerick Football Heroes Visit Courtenay!
Courtenay welcomed the Limerick Football Manager Jimmy Lee, County players Emmet Rigter, Ruadhán O’Connor, and Darren O’Doherty, along with Strength and Conditioning Coach Conor Walker, to a special assembly in the school hall. They brought with them the Division 4 League Cup — and a whole lot of excitement! The children gave our visitors a great welcome, with cheers and applause echoing around the hall. Jimmy and Conor spoke about the dedication and commitment it takes to play for club and county, and the three players were fantastic with the children — answering questions about their toughest opponents, training sessions, and favourite sports stars outside the GAA. The group visited classes, posed for photos, and joined Junior Infants and Mr. O’Doherty to practise football skills on the yard — a big hit with our youngest players! Jimmy and Conor also spent time with 6 class, giving them advice about making good decisions and being independent thinkers. They left all of us with one powerful message: find something you love to play, do, or be part of – do it, enjoy it, and always try to be your best. A truly memorable day for the whole Courtenay community
