To be fair to Johnno he made an effort to mix up the sports, the school had a very strong basketball team and I remember playing a number of other sports also. There were a few GAA dinosaurs there - I used to hate heading up to the pitch on Wednesday afternoons and having the teacher looking at me like I had 3 heads because I didn't want to play GAA. He just couldn't comprehend it. Looking back, I got a decent education out of it but if you weren't in the top 2 or 3 classes, you were doomed - most of the lower classes were only there to pass the time of day. Some of those teachers were out and out nutters, 1 geography teacher in particular was completely off the reservation - I can't imagine he'd last in a school today. I reckon I'll be sending my lad to a mixed school - I don't think all-boys schools are conducive to producing the most well-rounded individuals.

So about half way through 2nd year, Johno left us off to play either in doors or on the all weather "pitch". Anyone who didn't want to play soccer did gymnastics, boxing, raquetball or table tennis. If you didn't want to do any sports, you were left on the stage watching the soccer.

But I agree with the sentiments on the school today. It looks wonderful, has top notch equipment & a much wider range for the curriculum & extra curricular activities has to be welcomed by today's pupils.

Moyderwell primary are doing a little benefit this weekend in order to try help raise funds for his parents to come over & be with him at the end. I will be going & I hope a few more boardsies can maybe give a tenner for a very worthy cause.
