ABBEY GRAMMAR SCHOOL THANKS LAST YEARS UPPER SIXTH MACRORY CUP FOOTBALLERS AT A DINNER DANCE

The Abbey Past Pupils Sports Association organised a very successful Dinner Dance and Cabaret at the Canal Court Hotel on Friday 9th September. It was an opportunity for the Abbey community to gather and say "thanks" to last years upper sixth MacRory Cup footballers that are leaving the school. The pupils that are getting ready to begin a new phase of their lives by starting university courses within the next few weeks were presented with Abbey football jerseys. These future stars can keep the Abbey 'colours flying' by wearing these jerseys at their respective university football training sessions.

The Abbey Past Pupils Sports Association exists to benefit present and future pupils in the pursuit of sporting excellence by providing additional funds for facilities and equipment. A lot of credit must go to its Chairman Aidan O'Rourke with his hard working committee that organise numerous events every year for the benefit of the school. Indeed people are still talking about the Gala weekend trip to the City West Hotel in Dublin last March that was organised by the APPSA.
