The South Leinster qualifiers of the FAI Schools 5-a-side competition for Primary Schools will take place on Wednesday next, May 11 at Bunclody AFC, Wexford:
Schools have come through their relevant County events and now advance to the second stage of qualifiers for a place in the Leinster Finals on May 19:
The event will see schools from Carlow, Wicklow and Wexford participate in the South Leinster Regional FINALS:
There are 5 divisions to suit all school sizes: While FAI Schools encourage boys and girls to play on the same team, there is also a separate competition for girls’ schools: A number of teams can represent one school depending on the size of their student body, giving more children the chance to develop their skills in a safe, child centered and exciting environment:
The event has proved very popular in recent years with participating schools advancing to the Leinster Finals if they taste success in Bunclody: Some of these schools have proved to be immensely successful when reaching National level:
St: Joseph’s NS in Gorey were All Ireland Champions last year in the Boys “C” Section having claimed runners up spot in the same section a year previously: The school have two teams competing this time around and will be hoping for a repeat performance come Wednesday
2009 was an excellent year for the South Leinster Schools with Gaelscoil Inbhear Mor, Wicklow picking up the prestigious All Ireland crown in the Boys “B” Section while debutants Bennekerry NS, Carlow made it a double celebration in the Girls “B” Cup: A wonderful achievement for the school having had no experience competing at that stage previously
Schools are requested to be in attendance early for registration as all games kick off at 10:15am: The series of events should conclude at 2pm followed by the presentations:
Will Doyle will be co/ordinating events on the day and wishes all participating schools the best of luck in what should prove to be a very entertaining day of football:
