Schools Coaching: This coming Friday, June 13th, we will hold a Festival of Football in Kentstown with the boys and girls of Yellow Furze NS and Kentstown NS from second to fifth class. This will be an opportunity for all the children to show off the skills which they have been learning throughout the year as part of our Club/School Link. Over the years the schools have proved to be brilliant at nurturing the talents of the promising players in the parish and many of our current senior stars would have played Cumann na mBunscol football with them. No doubt there will be players in action on Friday who will go on to represent Meath in the future as well.
The first ball will be thrown in at 09:45 with the children of second class in action and will conclude with fifth class.
Senior: The Senior team defeated Rathkenny in Round 1 of the Feis Cup in Fr. Tully Park on Saturday evening on a scoreline of 6-13 to 1-07. They will now face St. Patrick’s in Ashbourne in the Quarter Final on Sunday June 22nd at 12:00.

Club Competition: With the summer holidays just around the corner we have decided it’s a great time to have a photo competition. The prize will be a year’s family membership for 2015 for one lucky family.
We are going to spread the Seneschalstown gospel across the world but need your help.
We are looking for photos of our juvenile members on their holidays wearing their Seneschalstown gear. The photo can be taken in Bundoran, Barcelona or Boston ……
Another option would be to take a photo at a famous landmark such as Buckingham Palace!
So get snapping and send the photo in via a Private Message to our Facebook Page. The draw to decide the lucky winner will take place on the first Saturday in September during the Seneschalstown Nursery.
