Conker Comp 2022
The Conker Comp Champion for 2022 is Finn from 5th class. Finn was up against Noah from 3rd class in the final and it was a very tense affair as both conkers appeared to be quite damaged. As the game progressed, no one could predict which conker would be the last one standing, and there was even a fear that both conkers would break simultaneously and that we would have no conker left from the 170 initial entries! Well done to Finn!
Thank you to Claire Geary who upgraded our trophy for us. The Conker Comp trophy was donated a number of years ago by Claire in memory of her son, David, a past pupil. The trophy needed a new base to fit the names of the growing number of Conker Comp Champions and Claire ensured the trophy would last for many more years by having a new base added.
Conker Comp 2021
Liam from 3rd class has been crowned Conker Comp Champion 2021 after beating Caoan from 5th class in the final. 5th class were very hopeful that one of their own would take the title as three of the four semi-finalists were 5th class boys. It wasn’t to be for them, however, and Liam took the title back to a very excited 3rd class. A powerful strike from Caoan resulting in the smashing of his own conker, it was one of many super shots taken by Caoan throughout the competition. Well done to Liam, our new champion, King of the Conkers for 2021!
Conker Comp 2020

Congratulations Jimmy!

This year played host to a tough competition with numerous great battles taking place. Shane Hannigan of 4th class was crowned Conker Champion in late October. James McCann of 6th class proved to be a very worthy opponent but his conker could not withstand the might of Shane’s conker!
