the final. The Girls then defeated a very good Mullinavat side to achieve county success on a scoreline of 4-5 to 0-3. The Girls made huge progress throughout the year and credit must go to the Moneenroe NS staff for all their hard work
training the Girls, Mr. Gary Kelly, Mr. Michael McKeogh, Mr. Kevin Maher & Kathleen Connolly.
After the medal presentation Huw spoke to the children about their success and encouraged the children to continue practicing their skills.

The children were further treated to another surprise as Huw brought his 2023
All-star award with him. The children posed for pictures with the award and all had an opportunity to hold the All Star. The future is surely bright in Moneenroe NS.

Moneenroe NS claim Glory on County Final Day
Posted: 14th Nov 2023
The Kells Rd played host to a feast of Ladies football action on Saturday Morning as Moneenroe National School faced off against Mullinavat NS in the Roinn E county final. It was a nail-biting game from start to finish, with both teams giving it their all.
Moneenroe NS took an early lead thanks to Heidi Buggy. Her skill and precision on the field were unmatched, and she proved to be a key player for her team. The defense, consisting of Maura Ward, Zara Roche, Ella Clancy, Sarah Phelan and the Young Goalkeeper Molly Lawlor, showcased their strength and determination, preventing Mullinavat NS from finding the back of
the net.
However, Mullinavat NS did not back down. They fought hard and put up a valiant effort throughout the game. If a couple of early goals had gone in their favour, the result could have been quite different. Despite the outcome, they should be extremely proud of their efforts and the heart they displayed on the field.
Emma Parr and Abigail Daly from Moneenroe NS played with relentless energy, contributing significantly to their team's success. Kate O'Brien and Isabelle Lawlor proved to be formidable opponents for Mullinavat NS, causing trouble for their defense. Ellen Heatherington and Emma Kelly also made valuable contributions, adding to the team's overall performance.
In the end, Moneenroe National School emerged victorious with 4-5 to 0-3 win. It was a thrilling match that showcased the passion and talent of both teams. Big thanks to the teachers of Moneenroe NS Mr. Gary Kelly , Mr. Michael McKeogh, Mr. Kevin Maher and Kathleen Connolly.

Farewell Mr. Lonergan
Posted: 30th Sept 2023
Yesterday was a sad day for our school community when we had to bid goodbye & good luck to Mr Lonergan. After 12 years as Principal Teacher in Moneenroe NS, Mr Lonergan is moving south of the county to commence his new position in Mullinavat NS next week.
Philip has been an incredible ambassador for our school and has served the community of Moneenroe whole heartedly. He has been the driving force behind the schools successes over the past number of years.
Philip encouraged singing, music, plays, concerts, storytelling, hurling, football, rugby, any sport you can think of. Quizzes are a huge part of everyday life in Moneenroe NS! Academically the pupils from Moneenroe NS are some of the best prepared when they leave primary education.
On the pitch the boys & girls give it everything to improve under his & his fellow teachers direction.
In recent years the school building & playground has seen a new extension, school pitch with goal posts & nets, yard development & improvement. This will be his lasting legacy to Moneenroe.
For now we say a huge Thank You to Mr Lonergan and as the children say in their song ‘We all wish Mr Lonergan the best!’
Moinín Rua Abú!
