Triangular Sword Competition

In 1943, during a conversation between the Commandant of the Military College, the Prior of Newbridge College and the Rector of Clongowes Wood College, the Trianugular Competition as it is today, was first sugested.  Prior to this the three institutions competed at football only and it was felt that the competition should be extended to include other forms of sport. 

Hence on 30 April, 1944 the first competition was held and since then it has taken place without fail, with only minor changes in format.  The competition now includes sports such as Golf, Gaelic Football, Soccer, Swimming, Athletics and Basketball.

Competition 10-11

The Competition will be hosted this year by Newbridge College.  Details of event times and locations may be viewed in the online calendar of school events when they become available.
