Vinnie Murray Cup Final Wednesday 29th February, Templeville Rd, 3pm. Newbridge S.C.T. v St Andrew's
Leinster Schools Junior Cup quarter-final Thursday 1st March, Anglesea Rd, 2.30pm. Newbridge J.C.T. v St Mary's
Past Pupils wish both teams, and their coaches, all the very best for these games.
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.
Hard luck to the Senior Girls Hockey team on their loss today in the Cup v Teresians. The players and coaches put in a great effort.

LENT 2012
The Gospel today speaks to us of the central elements of Lent, which begins today. Jesus says to the people “ When you give to the poor don’t let anyone know about it...When you pray, go into a room alone and close the door. Pray to your Father in private...When you go without eating, don’t try to look gloomy as those show-offs do.....” The invitation today, Ash Wednesday, is to make prayer, fasting, and giving to those in need, central to our journey through the Lenten season. It can be a special time of growth and transformation in our lives.
