Rounders Challenge - Teachers v. 1st Year Students

Cover Rounders 2024
NEWS / 29 November 2024

During break on the 25th November the 1st year students years had a rounders game against the teachers. The teachers batted first, and Mr. O’Callaghan was the first batter and he had a fair hit but he only got to 1st base. The rest of the teachers batted with the help of a few 3rd year students with a surprisingly good hit from our History teacher, Ms. Kenny and our Computer Studies teacher, Ms. O’Kelly.

The teachers racked up 8 points. It should have been more if it wasn’t for Robert Coakley’s amazing catches. Then it was the students turn. Thomas Howe was up first with a great hit managing to get to 2nd base, just sliding in there. Every student had a great hit and the students got up to 14 points. But according to the teachers it was 10 all! The students agreed (reluctantly) and we all called it a tie game.  Everybody had a great time and the students cannot wait for the rematch.
