Shane Long visit


A few weeks ago, Year 4, 5 & 6 had the once in a life time opportunity to meet Shane Long, the Irish international and Southampton FC football player. As you can imagine, it was amazing! We were able to meet him because Mr Kelly, who was running a Gaelic football club at the time, invited him in to our school to meet the the children. Shane Long came to help us with our Gaelic football skills and also talk a bit about football, he even got involved in our training drills.To add to this, Mr Kelly competed in a crossbar challenge with him. Guess who won? Mr Kelly! After that, Miss Andrews put Shane on the spot and asked whether he could do twenty keepy ups and as you would expect, he was able to do twenty and even threw in an amazing trick called around the world.

Myself and many others will remember that day as one of the most amazing moments of our lives.
