Cumann na mBunscol

Well done to the boys in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th classes who competed very well in the Cumann na mBunscol blitz on Monday 26th May.  They all represented the school so well.  

​Barry Brennan a former Galway County Footballer paid a very special surprise visit to the Greaghrahan boys today as they took part in the Cumann na Bunscoil.  Barry was delighted to see so many young kids out playing sport.  Barry also said that it was great to see some good talented footballers among the squad.

Barry was part of winning Galway team of 1976 who won the All Ireland Minor Title, he then went on to play with the Senior Galway Team from 1979 to 1987, during this team Barry was part of the winning team of 5 Connacht championships in 1982, 1983, 1984, 1986 & 1987.

Barry said they are all great memories but one of his most treasured memories was captaining the Galway side in 1980 & 1981 where they won the 1981 league beating Roscommon by 8 points and he was awarded with an ALL STAR AWARD.

Barry was part of the team that narrowly missed out on an All Ireland title when they lost to Dublin in 1983 by 2 points.

Barry gave the boys some great advice in the dressing rooms before they went out to play their final game of the day and its safe to say that it surely resonated with the boys who played their best game of the day against a very strong Kildallan NS side who now go forward to the county final, we would like to wish Killdallan the very best of luck in the next stage of the Cumann na mBunscoil.
