A blue army of boys and girls will descend upon Dublin’s Aviva Stadium when two teams from Westport’s Scoil Phádraig take part in the FAI Schools’ Primary 5-a-side All-Ireland finals.
On Wednesday, May 29, the school will be defending one All-Ireland title and searching for another when their boys and girls teams line out in the home of Irish soccer.
The boys are hoping to win the All-Ireland title for the first time, while the girls are hoping to defend their 2023 All Ireland title.
To give them the best possible chance to achieve victory, the school have called on the community to lend their support to their cause.
“We need to raise €7,000 to fund travel, food, and accommodation for the sixteen players and three coaches, and hopefully allow our 4th, 5th and 6th classes to have the incredible opportunity to cheer on their teammates in the national stadium,” the school stated.
“We are asking our school community, the wider Westport community, and all those who would like to support our record breaking students, who are making our school, our town and our county proud by representing Scoil Phádraig Westport in the All-Ireland finals, to please dig deep and donate what you can to fund this, if you can, in the very short time we have to make it happen.”
The school has set up a GoFundMe page which has already raised over €2,900.
