Br. Bosco Leinster Final Winners
Heartiest congratulations to Coláiste Mhuire on an amazing win after extra time in the Br. Bosco Leinster final last Sunday defeating Ardscoil Athy on a score-line of 3-10 to 1-13. It was a wonderful spectacle to watch with end to end action with Coláiste Mhuire working tirelessly against a somewhat more physical side. We are particularly proud of our six Na Dúnta footballers Michael Moloney, Peter Conneely, Darragh Smith, Aaron Connaire, Conor Daly and Eoin Mullin
After 42 years since Coláiste Mhuire last won the trophy, the team proudly walked in the gates of the school with the cup aloft greeted by parents, families, friends, school-mates, teachers and former pupils in celebration of a wonderful performance and win. They now look forward to an All-Ireland semi-final against Connacht champions St. Comans of Claremorris (Mayo) in two weeks’ time with details to be confirmed. Congratulations to all involved.
