St Brendan’s College 1-11 Mercy Mounthawk 2-14
Our Senior Panel came up short today, in the final of the Kerry Colleges Senior Football Competition in a game played in perfect conditions at Austin Stack Park in Tralee and cheered on by 200 vocal senior students. St Brendan’s made a bright start before ceding control of the game to a well drilled and skillful Mounthawk team. Following half time, the Sem rallied, mainly due to a brilliantly taken Calum Cronin goal coming to within 2 points of Mounthawk with 10 minutes remaining. However, Mounthawk picked off some late scores to close out the first O Sullivan Cup for the Tralee School.
We are very grateful to this hardworking panel and to Mr. Herlihy, Mr. Fitzgerald, Mr. O Doherty, Mr. Doolan, Dr. Stack, Mr. Leahy & John C O Shea.
We look forward to our own panel working towards the latter stages of the Corn uí Mhuirí in early 2024.
The following students took part in the Kerry Secondary Schools Badminton competition in the
Killarney Sports and Leisure Centre on Tuesday Dec 5th.
Well done to all our competitors U14’s, U16’s and U19’s who proudly represented our school.
Our U19’s came 3rd place in their competition.
Our Badminton Club runs after school, every Monday in the gym.
Lions club Fundraiser
Well done to our Transition Year Lions club committee who raised €1201.55 today from our Jersey Day in aid of Killarney Lions Club. Further activities are planned for next week with "Split the Bucket" and a Skills Day for TY students. Well done to all.

Round 2 Result
St. Brendan’s College 1
Mounthawk SS 2
Scorer: Leo Allen
3 minutes from the final whistle. A hard pill to swallow. After conceding after the 1st minute, the boys gathered themselves and settled into the game. We had really positive periods of play, controlling the game, moving the opposition.This culminated in a well worked team goal, finished off by Leo Allen. Thoroughly deserved.
The game ebbed & flowed. However, Mounthawk started turning the screw within the last 10 mins. And they got what they probably deserved. 3 minutes from the final whistle.
Thanks to the man in black, Tom Kerrisk. And best of luck to Mounthawk in the next round.
The first years had a great day and played some exceptional rugby on Tuesday in a blitz in Tralee rugby club. Big thank you to head coach Andrew O’Reilly.
Carols by candlelight takes place on December 17th in St. Mary’s Cathedral. This event aims to bring together the community in festive song.

A fitting farewell for our wonderful school secretary Carmel who yesterday left St. Brendan’s after over 42 years of service. We wish her every happiness in the years ahead.
