Niamh Briggs visits with Six Nations Medal!!
Niamh returns on PhotoPeach
On March 21st we had a very special visit from Grand Slam winner Niamh Briggs. Last Sunday Niamh and Ireland Women won their first ever Six Nations Championship when they beat Italy 6-3 in Milan. Niamh came to show us her medal and in return we all learned Irelands Call and wore green on the day to celebrate the Womens achievement. The weather let us down on the day so we all congregated in the Halla and sang Irelands Call as Niamh entered the school. Ms. Creed then showed Niamh her framed jersey that the school recieved from Niamh when she visited last year to raise our Green Flag. She presented Full Attendance Certificates and Wizzy the WASP certs before she signed autographs and took some photos. Well done Niamh!!
