Football is one of the most popular sports worldwide. It is growing more and more in popularity including in the local area. In the area surrounding our school we have several different football clubs of which our students are members. These include: Collinstown FC, Esker Celtic, Peamount United to name but a few.
Collinstown has a long record in both Boys and Girls Football. The school runs teams at every age division and has had many successes over the years.
With the football season in back in full flow, following a few tough Covid years, we had an enjoyable year.Our U19s won the West Dublin Cup and made it to both the Dublin and Leinster Semi Finals. Our U17s were beaten in the final of the South Dublin Cup and were narrowly beaten on penalties in the Dublin and Leinster Cup. The level of participation and enthusiasm from the students was a pleasure to be part of.
If you are interested in joining a football team make sure to contact one of the coaches and listen out for notices on when training starts.
The coaches involved are Mr Cassidy, Mr Lanigan, Mr Harpur, Mr Bailey and Mr Ryan.
