Cupa Iomain na h-Òige - 2023
Bun-sgoil Àth Tharracaill won the Cuach
Bidh Cupa Iomain na h-Òige a’ gabhail àite gach bliadhna agus ’s e ceann-latha cudromach a th’ ann air a’ mhìosachan neo-churraicealach do chloinn a tha a’ frithealadh Foghlam tron Ghàidhlig. Tha an tachartas a’ toirt cothrom do chloinn a’ Ghàidhlig a chleachdadh ann an àrainneachd spòrs.
Bha faisg air 100 sgoilear an làthair, le sia sgiobaidhean a’ gabhail pàirt san fharpais. Aig a’ cheann thall b’ e Bun-Sgoil Àth Tharracail a bhuannaich an cupa. Choisinn Bun-Sgoil Ghàidhlig Loch Abar A Duais Chomhairle na Gàidhealtachd airson a bhith sàr-mhath a’ cleachdadh na Gàidhlig, chan ann a-mhàin air an raon-chluiche ach tron latha air fad.
Bha sgoilearan Bun-Sgoil Shròn an t-Sìthein cuideachd an làthair mar aoighean airson an sgilean Gàidhlig a ghleusadh.
Tha sinn a’ toirt taing mhòr do Bhun-Sgoil Àth Tharracail airson aoigheachd a thoirt dhan tachartas.
