Sports

BADMINTON

Recreational Badminton is offered in the school every Thursday at lunch. This is a very popular activity welcoming all year groups and all abilities to come and play.

The Badminton team have been very successful over the years. Our U16 and U19 teams are currently Kerry champions while our U16s are Munster champions and represented the Provence in the All Irelands in March, finishing second in the competition.

FOOTBALL

In the last academic year we have both Junior and Senior Football Teams.

BASKETBALL

At Pres Listowel we currently have basketball teams at all grades, minor, junior, cadette and senior. These age groups cater for all students in the school allowing everyone the opportunity to represent the school.

The school competes in the South West Regional league which caters for schools in Kerry, Limerick and Clare. The school has seen great success on the basketball courts in recent years. Up until 2022 the school was competing at C grade, however, following the success of our Junior team in the 2021-2022 academic year and our minor basketball team in 2023-2024 Academic year the school now competes in A grade basketball.

South West Leagues take place before and after Christmas. In term 1 cadette and senior leagues take place while in term 2 minor and junior leagues begin ensuring a busy basketball schedule all year.

Teams normally train after school as well as some lunchtimes.

 

SOCCER

Our school takes part in the Kerry Schools 1st Year and Junior Soccer Leagues. These competitions give the girls an opportunity to play competitive games throughout the academic year. These leagues conclude with blitzes in Mounthawk Park in May, which are always enjoyable days for the students. Last year, both 1st year and junior teams finished 3rd in their respective leagues, producing some fine performances throughout.
