Our cricket team enjoyed their matches this season and represented the school with pride.  We thank both Pembroke Cricket Club for the high quality coaching that our boys received this year.

The school’s senior hurling team represented Star of the Sea with pride this season.  The boys emerged from their Cumann na mBunscol group with some impressive wins and eye-catching performances.  The quarter final draw took the team to Malahide to play St. Oliver Plunkett School.  The Star Boys fought bravely but could not match a powerful.  Over the season, from November to June, every Star of the Sea Player improved his hurling skills.  The team shared cameraderie and friendship. Our junior hurling teams saw boys from third and fourth classes get to wear the Star jersey for the first time.  We are excited about the talent coming through the school!

We thank the coaches: Mr Meenan, Mr O’Brollacháin, Mr O’Maonaile and Ms Kennelly.  Their voluntary commitment to coaching and mentoring our senior and junior teams made the season a success.

Our third and fourth class pupils were grateful to Dublin City Council for the invitation to a block of high-quality athletics coaching.  The boys very much enjoyed their short walks to Irishtown Stadium and the athletics training they took part in.

We had another great athletics season this year.  The season reached its climax with the Santry games.  All of the boys selected to represent the school performed very well.  We were delighted to win gold and silver medals.  Reflecting upon the season, we are proud of the boys who trained every Tuesday and Thursday.  Every boy improved over the school year.  Our athletics and cross country programmes would not be possible without our volunteer teachers.  We express our thanks to Ms O’Hara, Ms Mannion, Ms Conway and Ms Doyle.

Our boys took part in a block of rugby coaching, delivered by Jamie Kavanagh of Wanderers FC.  As well as being a fantastic player himself, Jamie is a natural coach, who made all of the activities and games fun for the boys.

During the 2025/2026 school year, every class took part in a 6-week block of gymnastics lessons.  These lessons were delivered by Sport in Schools.  As always, their instructors and equipment were excellent, and the boys learned a lot while enjoying themselves throughout.
