This game proved to be a tight encounter as there was little to separate the two sides. Despite a shaky start for St. Peter's college as they struck a very poor wide with with just under two minutes gone. They proved to be a difficult opposition with their corner forward causing havoc as he notched four fabulous points. The C.B.S men showed great heart throughout this game as they responded to every question St.Peter’s asked. While asking their own questions from the likes of Conor Heary and Conor Drennan who was prolific from frees. Scoring five for his afternoon’s work. Conor Heary eventually broke the deadlock during the second half thus lifting the Kilkenny sides spirit and draining the oppositions the sheer determination and class shun through from the C.B.S and that’s what won them the game. No one showed this more than Oisin Murphy who broke two hurls in the heat of battle his effort was eventually rewarded with a well taken score in the 57th minute. Overall C.B.S Kilkenny edged this game and were deserving winners as they made their way back to the Marble city.

This November, our struggle for the Green Flag has begun. Mr.Ahern's Green Army has set the goal to get our first Green Flag by December 2017. The first objective that arose was to spread awareness. This was tackled by setting up an Awareness Team. They conversed with second years and fourth years to co-operate and compromise for the schools long-term goal. Mr.Ahern and the Litter Warden from the Kilkenny County Council addressed the issues of dumping rubbish onto the streets to spread fear amongst us using a powerpoint. An inspirational video was also played to empower us into commiting ourselves into the rehabilition of the earth. Our beloved caretakers Ken and James came in to give a speech about how much rubbish is being disposed by the school every single week. They also said that segregation of rubbish is a rising problem of the school and is making their lives more challenging everyday. Geraldine Moloney gave  us leaflets and information for appropriate equipment and items to achieve our goal. We will all now try our best to get the Green Flag.

On Friday the 28th of October. Ty students went to a science forensics workshop in the PE hall which lasted 3 classes. The aim of the exercise was who murdered a young girl in October 2011. Students got the opportunity to study evidence which was around the PE hall. Evidence included examining soft drink cans from the scene, fingerprints and soles of shoes found at the murder scene. When certain groups figured out who the murderer was, the instructor brought 3 lads up in front of the class and after putting crucial evidence together arrested the guilty party. The murderer was Paul who attempted to kidnap the young girl but during the struggle was pushed and hit her head. Paul was convicted of manslaughter. Overall students enjoyed the workshop as they got to use science in a fun way and got an insight into the job of a forensic scientist. Most people enjoyed it and said they would love to do it again.

The transition year classes had the opportunity to visited Shielbaggan in county Carlow for a kayaking experience like no other. We firstly got dressed in the appropriate gear, learned the basics of kayaking and played water polo. We then all entered the loch. We then went down a small river connecting to the river Barrow. We entered it by going down a waterfall. We continued down the river navigating weirs and rapids. On the way we played games like trying to stand up on our kayaks and switching kayaks with someone else. We eventually arrived in Graignamanagh where our dry clothes and food were waiting for us. Overall this was a thoroughly enjoyable trip for all .
