The Past Pupils congratulate the Junior Cup team and their coaches on the way they represented Newbridge College throughout the cup campaign. They came up short today in the final v St Michael's, with only a score between them in the end. We wish the players and coaches every success for the future. Congratulations and thanks to the huge crowd of Past Pupils who turned up to support the team. Your support, along with the support of the school, was tremendous, and a credit to all concerned.
Congratulations to the players and coaches of the J.C.T. on their 14 - 3 win today v Terenure. They now play the Leinster Schools Junior Cup Final v St.Michael's on Sunday March 25th in Donnybrook at 3pm. We wish them well.
Congratulations to the S.C.T. players and coaches on winning the Vinnie Murray Cup Final today in Templeville Rd. The 20 - 13 victory over St Andrews was a deserved victory and well done to everyone for the tremendous effort put in during the season.
Ruthie Edgeworth (2006) is working in a theatre company in Dublin called Gúna Nua and their next production, The Goddess of Liberty, is opening this Thursday, February 2nd.
The S.C.T. were narrowly beaten by Pres Bray today, with the last kick of an exciting game. Despite coming on top 2-0 in the try count, Newbridge lost out 10 - 12. They gave it a great shot and credit is due to all the players and the coaches for their tremendous efforts today, and throughout the season.
