iománaíocht

Nuair a thagann Tommy Mulcahy chuig an scoil gach Máirt, bíonn áthas ar na páistí, mar is ag dul ag imirt iománaíochta atá siad. Tógann sé painéal na scoile chomh maith le Naíonáin Mhóra gach tráthnóna Máirt. Tá grá ar leith ag Tommy don iománaíocht, mar is eol do na páistí, agus is ag tabhairt ar aghaidh an grá seo do na páistíceann de na rudaí is mó a dhéanann sé. Idir scileanna a chleachtadh, amuigh nó istigh sa Halla Nua, nó ag imrt cluichí in aghaidh na scoileanna sa cheantar , is breá leis na páistí an sport seo. Go maire tú go céad, a Tommy!

When Tommy Mulcahy comes to the school on Tuesdays, the children love to see him coming, as they know that it’s time for hurling. Like many a person in Tipperary, Tommy has a real grá for hurling. What is unique about Tommy is his love and dedication to passing this on to the children, and this is what he does best. Tommy takes the school hurling team at lunchtime, and the hurlers-to-be from Naíonáin Mhóra after school. Between skills and games practice, as well as playing friendlies, 7-a-sides, and competing in the primary schools championships, the children have super opportunities to enjoy their hurling. In 2007, we were really proud of Jack ó Lochnáin when he lined up with his county playmates in the Primary Games in Semple Stadium, before the senior inter-county game.It was a fantastic honour for him, his family and his school Gaelscoil Abú!
