Hazelwood College 1-4
St. Marys, Charleville 1-2
Last Wednesday in Ballincollig GAA pitch, the first year camogie team at Hazelwood Collge began Cork A County Champions. On their first camogie outing with the school it was an exciting day for all involved! Their opening game v Christ King was an exciting game, Hazelwood dominated for much of the time but failed to convert possession to scores. Then came a sea of scores. This win 5-1 to 0-0 was a great opening clash for Hazelwood. Next opponents we faced were Ballincollig and this was a very different game. Ballincollig were physical players and we had to up our game in order to get the better of them! The pace of the game was fast and furious and we had to utilise each opportunity and were lucky to gain a win. St Marys,Charleville we defeated in our third game 3-4 to 1-1. Our last game was v Kinsale Community School and this was imperative to win in order to guarantee our place in the county final!
In the final we face St Marys, Charleville this was the toughest game of the day. Charleville emerged a different team for this game. The game was extremely close with only the smallest margin separating the teams at half time. The second half was as nail biting and the sound of the final whistle gave rise to elation and huge celebrations on the Hazelwood team. All twenty two girls on the panel played their part throughout the day. Well done to all involved.

Leaving Cert Applied students took a walk down ‘Safety Street’, Ireland’s first purpose-built interactive centre where young people can experience various realistic scenarios in a safe environment. Students were asked to navigate three realistic safety scenarios brought to life by volunteer actors from the University of Limerick.
The scenarios included:
* Personal Safety – Short Dark Alley v Long Bright Way Home.
* Life After Drugs – Tales from a recovering addict.
* That’s not ASB? – Impact of Antisocial Behaviour.
Each scenario was followed by discussions and Q&A sessions with representatives from Limerick City Council, Health Service Executive and Garda Síochána.
The initiative was organised by Limerick’s Community Coordinators (employees of LCCSP – Limerick City Community Safety Partnership Ltd) to encourage teenagers to identify everyday hazards and develop safe strategies to deal with potential emergencies, changing their behaviour to keep themselves and others safe.
