Soccer Team History
The school first entered the Dublin Schools' Soccer Leagues in 2014 (Boys and Girls). Both teams have gone from strength to strength with children from 3rd to 6th Class representing St. Joseph's with pride and passion. The first major success for the school came in 2016 when the boys won the Dublin 5-a-side Competition. The team (Cameron, Joel, Warren, Jack, Nicolas, Oscar, Scott & Calum) went on to represent Dublin in the Leinster Finals in Co. Meath. The boys were immense winning two of their three games and finishing the day with silver medals. The only team that managed to beat them went on to win the All Ireland Title in the Aviva that year... our boys a whisker away from the Finals. 2017 saw the girls' 5-a-side team defy the odds to qualify for the final 4 in Dublin after winning the North Dublin qualifier. An incredible achievement against a lot of bigger schools with very talented players. 2018 then saw the boys progress to the 11-a-side Division Playoff Final for the first time. The game ended 1-1 with local rivals St. Pat's (from Ringsend) winning 4-3 on penalties. There are lots of very talented boys and girls in the younger classes so the future looks good for the Wallers!
