Mackey Cup

Mackey Cup returns to the South

 

Congratulations to Seán Murnane and Aaron Hanley who played on the South Limerick team which won the Mackey Cup in the Gaelic Grounds recently. The boys played in both the semi-final (where the South defeated the East) and final (where the South edged a close game with the City).

They join a select group of past pupils of the school with Mackey Cup medals. (that group includes Killian O’Shea, Oisín O’Grady, Dermot Breen and Mike Bermingham)

If anyone knows of other past pupils who have won Mackey Cup medals, we would love to give them a mention here.

The INTO Mini Sevens team represented the South in UL where they narrowly lost out to Doon CBS and Milford NS and picked up a convincing win against Courtenay NS. Thanks to the great performance, Adam Boyle will get to be a referee in a mini-sevens game in Croke Park at half time during the All Ireland hurling semi-final in August.

Anthony Baggott Cup 2015

The Anthony Baggott Memorial Cup competition took place on Friday June 12th in Herbertstown. The well attended event saw 3 south teams, Herbertstown NS, Knockainey NS and Hospital NS joined by East representatives Barna NS to compete for the cup. There were many close contests before a final pairing of Hospital NS and Knockainey NS was decided.

In the final, a fine Knockainey NS team proved just too strong for Hospital NS who were impressive in their run to the final.
