Minco comes to an end!

After being shortlisted from the Regional Finals, The Spoover qualified for the County Finals in The Osprey Hotel which took place yesterday, 14Th March.
Four minicompany's qualified; The Just Deserts, Baby Cakes, Knot a Problem and Utensilise. We set off to for Naas after break and the other TY Mini Companies took part in The Get UP and Go Competition in the Red Cow.
There was loads of competition in the Osprey. There was one girl who ended up winning the County Final who has created, produced and sold stickers for the soles of high heels so the heels look like designer Louis Vuitton shoes. It is such a simple idea and is one of those things you wished you have thought of doing! The franchise Fran and Jane are even selling her product and the 16 year old has made over a whoppping €50,000! She deserved to win and I wish h er all the best with her company!
St. Wolstans didn't come home empty handed though, The Just Deserts won The Judge's Prize and Knot a Problem were the Runner Up's!! Out of 120 Minicompanies only 18 made it to the County Final so I'm so proud of TY for having four minicompanies competing and out of just six prizes, two of them were awarded to Wolstan's Girls!
Sadly Utensile didn't win anything but it was such a fun day, we even got lunch and the poato salad was amazing, and minicompany was such a good experience and many thanks to Ms. E and Mrs. L for all of there hard work and motivation. Also to Utensilise, we may not have won a trophy but we still did so well considering our product, The Spoover isn't even manufactured!
