Students Joseph Griffiths, 3rd Year and Fionn O'Connor, 1st Year travelled to Greystones Sailing Club South of Dublin with their boat to take part in the RS 200 Southern Championships 9/10 September. 24 boats entered the event including 12 youth teams from all over Ireland.
Due to a poor weather forecast, four races were sailed on Saturday in gale force conditions at times and rough seas. The weather was so bad by the fourth race that only four boats managed to finish including Joseph and Fionn who were the youngest team taking part. They finished in 8th place overall and were 4th youth team. They were also singled out by the race officer to congratulate them on their outstanding seamanship skills.

Reflection
A thought for those who have been bereaved.
Prayer for Courage
Lord, help me to be brave
Strengthen me to rise above my pain
As nature around me
Becomes, after a shower of rain
Bright, green, fresh and beautiful again.
After the parting of my loved one
I encounter a gamut of emotions
As they toss me around
Help me believe
That living in the shadow of the Cross
I face the light of the Resurrection
You, Lord, will help me to cope each day with my loss.
Lord, each day you make me braver,
As, with the suddenness of my loved one’s death
Life brings such unknown things.
Help me keep him close and you in sight
Trusting that out of the darkness of my night
Each new Dawn – will give me light.
Anne Rogers
