On Monday the 19th of October St. Mel’s once again played Moyne in the Longford Rugby Club. After losing by 3 points before, St. Mel’s played much better on this occasion beating them by 11 points. The final score was 28 to 17. St. Mel’s scored 4 tries and 4 conversions. The tries were scored by Colm Farrell, Joey Keenan and Liam Connerton who also made 4 out of 4 conversions making him fairly obviously the man of the match.

LCVP
Welcome back to the LCVP students who are back from their work experience. We hear that there were great reports from the employers. Thanks to all those that facilitated the students.
Soccer
Our u16 team suffered defeat in their opening game of the season against Moyne CC. Despite enjoying plenty of possession some goalkeeping mistakes resulted in a heavy 5-1 loss. However there were some positives in this defeat, especially the amount of chances St. Mel's completed. Liam Connerton was on target for St. Mel’s with a fine strike in the second half.
