TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO 14, SPORT

We continue to remember our St Patrick's Convent Schools although this year, 2024, marks the twenty fifth anniversary of the closing of the last St Patrick's School in the west end. Today I am reposting photographs of the various sporting teams and their achievements over the years.  The photos have all been shared by former pupils.  I hope you enjoy this post and the others that have been posted.

LINDA'S PICTURES

I have had some very interesting pictures from Linda Withers.  They will take you back more than a few years!

The green tunic is Linda's 56 year old Kindergarten Uniform.  It is size xx small (how sweet is that💖).  The blue one is a gym t-shirt and it is a mere 50 years old!  It is size medium.

Linda surprised herself when she found her old School Pin and she kindly shared a picture of that with us too.

Linda, I am very grateful to you for sharing your lovely mementos and memories with us. Anything else you would care to share, including anecdotes or stories about your schooldays, would be very welcome.  Thank you, Linda.
