We start training in April. Gaelic is the main sport in Brideswell N.S.
It is mixed teams so boys and girls can play.We play in the 3/4 teacher school league.
Our team colours are blue and yellow. We play and train in our own pitch in Cam.
We got to the south county final last year.
We beat Bealnamulla, Four roads and Feevagh to get to the South county final.
Conor Byrne was the captain in the final. Trevor Doyle was the top scorer for the games.
Kevin Sheehy was trainer and manager. We lost to Ardkeenan in the south county final.
We were very disapointed but glad we got that far.
We could not have played without the support of the teachers.
