"Rugby, badminton and athletics were the dominant sports in Terenure College when Pádraig Forde first started teaching there in 1991. But basketball, soccer and GAA have grown hugely since the 2000s and the senior Gaelic football team are competing in their first Leinster 'A' Colleges quarter-final today. Forde is the manager on a completely homegrown coaching team that includes two past students, Dan McCarthy and James McCormack, both Dublin underage players, as well as Kevin Roberts, a teacher in the school involved with St Jude's."

A famed Dublin southside nursery is contesting its first Leinster Schools 'A' Gaelic football quarter-final today. When Pádraig Forde began teaching at Terenure College in 1991, rugby, badminton and athletics dominated the school's sporting life. Since the 2000s, basketball, soccer and GAA participation has expanded significantly, culminating in the senior Gaelic football team's landmark Leinster 'A' quarter-final appearance. Pádraig Forde manages the team with a completely homegrown coaching staff that features two past pupils, Dan McCarthy and James McCormack, both of whom are Dublin underage players, and Kevin Roberts, a teacher active with the St Jude's club.
