Hard luck to our senior hurlers and management team.
Saturday was not our day with a one point loss on a scoreline of St. Raphael's College Loughrea 1-20 (23) to St. Joseph's CBS Nenagh 3-13 (22). We are so proud of every single player. It has been an amazing journey to reach the Masita All-Ireland Croke Cup Semi-Final, clinching the coveted TUS Dr. Harty Cup title for the first time in the school's history. This team will go down in Nenagh CBS folklore history. The team have worked hard diligently throughout the year and are a credit to themselves, their families, clubs and schools. The team was led by Captain Fantastic Darragh McCarthy and had many leaders all over the pitch. They have proven themselves to be role models to our younger students.
Well done to all the mentors and coaches in all ten clubs for developing the boys into the fine hurlers that we have enjoyed watching throughout the campaign.
Thank you to Principal Miss Karen O’ Donnell, Vice Principal Mr Dermot Brislane and all of the staff for their unwavering support. Particular thanks must go to Ms. Amanda England who organised the supporters' buses from the school the lovely display of bunting and flags in the school building. Thank you too to Mr Patrick Kelly for keeping all followers of the school’s social media platforms updated with information about their matches and taking photographs and documenting the match days . We are grateful to the supporters who have cheered the team on from the very start. The atmosphere you helped create has been outstanding. Thank you to team sponsors Cian McDonnell and his team at Gold Standard Physiotherapy the Abbey Court Hotel and Leisure Centre who have been behind our team all the way.
Finally, a huge thank you to the management team for their dedication and their huge belief in the team. Well Done Donach O’Donnell, Jack Peters, Mark Gennery, Miriam Campion and Seán Kenneally.
