Dr. Bosco Leinster Final
Best of luck to our six Na Dúnta footballers who will represent Coláiste Mhuire in the Leinster Senior A Schools Final (Br Bosco Cup) vrs Ardscoil Na Trionóide (Athy) on next Saturday 8th February. It’s 42 years since Coláiste Mhuire last won the trophy.
We are proudly represented by Peter Conneely, Aaron Connaire, Conor Daly, Michael Moloney, Eoin Mullin and Darragh Smith.
In a little piece of nostalgia, The Downs GAA club were also very well represented on the Coláiste Mhuire team that won the same competition 42 years ago by Paul Rowan, Paddy Walsh, Paddy Doherty, Padraig McCarthy and Davy Monaghan. Hopefully the current crop of players can repeat this feat next Saturday. Best of luck to all involved.
