UK U20s National Championships 03.03.2020

Over the weekend a Gonzaga Ultimate Frisbee team competed in the UK U-20s National Indoor Championships in Wolverhampton. Having visited before in 2016 (3rd) and 2018 (2nd) the team was looking to break their seeding and become the first Irish team to win the event. Day one went perfectly to plan with a dominant display in pool play and two more wins in upper pool seeding, including a 10-9 defeat of the reigning champions, meaning Gonzaga went into the quarter-finals as top seeds. Sunday morning saw a straightforward quarter-final win followed by a nervy and difficult 10-8 win in the semi-finals. The final was a repeat of Saturday's 4th game vs Flux 1, a team of players from Cheshire who had won the event last year. Unfortunately they started very strongly and despite the team's best efforts victory belonged to the opposition. Well done to the players involved for all their hard work and commitment of the past few months. Maybe next year will be the year...

All-Ireland Schools Indoors Championships 23.02.18

Three Gonzaga teams played in the All-Ireland Schools indoors Championships in the National Sports Campus in Blanchardstown on Friday 23rd February.

Our Junior team put in their best performance of the day to win their final 7-4 against Colaiste Choilm Ultimate and bring home the gold for the first time. For a team made up mainly of 1st years and missing all our 3rd years this was a huge result.

In a hotly contested and physical final the Seniors beat their old city rivals St Fintan's 1. The score ended 8-4 meaning we retain the trophy we won in 2016 (no championship last year).

And, not to be left out, the Gonzaga 2 team took home the Spirit of the Game award in the senior division.

Well done to all the students at to Mr Earley; it was a great day full of hard work and effort.
