TY MUSICAL
Nearly there! A huge amount of work has been put into this year's TY Musical with Mount Anville. The performance runs for 2 nights and tickets are selling fast.
TY TIP: TUESDAY & THURSDAY
TUESDAY: TIP RUGBY IRELAND SESSION
THURSDAY: TIP RUGBY BLITZ WITH ALEXANDRA COLLEGE
As an alternative to our FB visit, Tip Rugby Ireland will be running a session today at the front pitch.
We'll be going up to Alexandra College for a Tip Rugby Tournament on Thursday afternoon for a short blitz.
Highlights from Last Week
A very interesting week working with CSI Experience were we looked at how an Irish crime scene is forensically investigated.
A fascinating talk from Diarmuid Lyng about his life as a hurler and how he learned (learning) to redefine his identity after retirement form sport.
It was a real privelage to see past pupil Rex Ryan perform his modern day Odyssey solo show, Pilgrim especially for us at the beautiful Smock Alley Theatre.
