Hazelwood kicked off their season against Salesian College in Broadford last Wednesday. They produced a very impressive performance for a team playing together for the first time. From the beginning, the home team settled into the game creating the better of the chances. Matthew Lynch and Charlie O’Mahony went close before Darragh O’Sullivan open the scoring midway through the half. The defence looked well organised with Adam Curtin and Patrick O’Donnell dominating the central positions. Ronan White was busy down the right hand side, giving very little chances away. Bobby Gore and Colin Burke were causing the opposition all sorts of trouble in the first half with their clever movement and accurate passing. Charlie and Bobby were combining very well on the left hand side especially. Hazelwood College were well worth their 1-0 half time lead.

Rua Daly and Ollie Stokes were introduced at half time and both had a very positive impact on the second half performance. Ollie was on the scoreboard early in the second half with a strike from outside the box. The midfield trio of Alan Cussen, Jack Sheehy and Colin Burke were having to work really hard to keep an improving Pallaskenry team at bay. The away team scored a deserved goal to make the score 2-1. Then Hazelwood really showed what they were made of and pushed on for the win in devastating fashion. Ollie Stokes stuck first from 35 yards out on the left wing. Cathal Geary was heavily involved in the build up. The final goal of the game came from close range by Colin Burke. It was a well deserved goal following a typical power-packed display from Colin. Fintan Maloney and Rhys Mulcahy made valuable contributions when called upon after coming on in the final quarter. Despite not having many saves to make, Mikey O’Connor had a very impressive debut. He directed operations in front of him very effectively, showing leadership skills you might expect from a senior student.

Squad: Mikey O’Connor, Ronan White, Bobby Gore, Patrick O’ Donnell, Adam Curtin, Colin Burke (C), Alan Cussen, Jack Sheehy, Charlie O’Mahony, Matthew Lynch, Darragh O’ Sullivan. Rua Daly, Ollie Stokes, Fintan Maloney, Cathal Geary, Rhys Mulcahy, Fionn O’Brien, Ethan Boles, Ian Fitzgibbon, Frankie Geary, Eddie Broderick, Rhys McCoy, Jack McAulliffe.

Geography Investigation 2022

Thanks to Ciara Ahern for this fantastic report on the Leaving Cert Geography trip

*Geography Investigation 2022*

For our Leaving Certificate Geography Field trip, we went to Creg beach Lahinch Co. Clare. This investigation/project is worth 20% in our Leaving Certificate Examination.

We left school at 7:30am in the morning, carrying our backpacks, raincoats and wellies with us in preparation for all types of weather. Mr. Noonan and Ms. Quaid accompanied us. The bus journey to Liscannor Bay was approximately 1 hour and 45minutes arriving at Lanich around 9:15am.

Firstly, we bought ourselves some coffee, to keep warm and fuel up for the day ahead. We travelled down to Creg beach where we calculated the slope of the beach, identified cusps and berms measured and sketched them. We measured beach materials size, observed longshore drift on the river Moy as it entered the sea. Recorded the wind speed, wind direction, wave type and frequency of waves over a minute.

We used apparatus such as the vernier callipers, anemometer, clinometer and a compass in which we recorded the results for each task into our work sheets.

Overall, the weather remained pleasant, and we all had great fun. Our guide Jess was extremely helpful with our group and clearly instructed what we had to do on the day. We applied our knowledge from class and conducted the experiments as a team.
