Following on from the successful league format in 2024, the Colin Primary Schools League expanded in 2025 with the addition of Christ the Redeemer PS, Lagmore. Joining Holy Evangelists, St Kierans PS & Good Shepard PS with boys and Girls Gaelic Football teams from P6 &P7 years.

The 3G facilities at Sally Gardens in Poleglass host all matches over a 8 week period and continues to provide a strong identity for developing Gaelic Games in the area.

In the Boys section, Christ the Redeemer defeated both St Kierans and Holy Evangelists. In their final league game played on a day that produced all four seasons, Christ the Redeemer PS finished with a  win despite the difficult test in a well organised and determined Good Shepard PS. The game itself was fast flowing with some excellent passages of play and is a testament to the coaches at the school & the clubs from which the boys receive their weekly training. In their final league games, St Kierans PS battled despite having a depleted squad but doing enough to get the result v Holy Evangelists.  

The girls sectioned delivered further evidence of the continuing growth of ladies Gaelic football in the Colin Area with clubs such as Colin Gaels, St Paul’s GAC, Sarsfields & Lamh Dhearg all having a strong identity within the school teams. The high standard of football produced by all schools in the girls section is a testament to the schools & GAA clubs coaching. Christ the Redeemer PS on the final league day had too much to see off Good Shepard and needed this victory as defeat could have left the door open for St Kierans PS to mirror their successful 2024 season. In the final league fixture St Kierans and Holy Evangelists played out to a draw. 

Unfortunately on the last day the weather prohibited the outdoor awards ceremony taking place. Thanks to the teachers and parents / guardians who facilitated the running of the league programme and to Christ the Redeemer for facilitating the awards ceremony.

Final thanks to CLG NAOMH PÓL / ST PAULS GAC & ST KIERANS PS Poleglass for their ongoing support in delivering another excellent Colin Primary Schools League & also to the staff at Sally Gardens for their logistical support & Belfast Crystal for their fantastic league winners awards.
