TWENTY-EIGHT pupils from Chafyn Grove School went on a rugby and hockey tour to the Republic of Ireland.

The school pupils had training sessions at Limerick University before the girls competed in hockey matches and the boys played rugby.

Girls had a jubilant time abroad, winning all of their fixtures against Laurel Hill, Crescent College and Villiers.

Meanwhile, the boys’ teams were victorious in one of their three matches, thrashing Villiers 48-0.

Apart from the sport, the school watched an exciting Heineken rugby cup match at Thomand Park and visited the historic sites at Limerick Castle.
