East Limerick Cumann na mBunscol Boys’ 9-a-side Gaelic Football Final

The boys from Scoil Mhuire N.S. participated in the East Limerick Cumann na mBunscol 9-a-side Boys’ Gaelic Football Final versus Oola in the Gaelic Grounds, Limerick on Monday 22nd October 2018. The boys showed great team spirit, skill and determination during the match. Unfortunately, Oola proved too strong on the day and they ran out winners on a scoreline of Oola 2-6 Murroe 0-3.

Naturally enough the boys were very disappointed with the result but they can feel very proud of themselves for reaching the final and for performing to the best of their abilities on the day. The boys are already looking forward to the hurling competition in 2019.

After the finals were over, all of the children repaired to the nearby Supermac’s for some refreshments.

Again, many thanks to Siobhán Flynn [mother of 5th class pupil and footballer, Laura] for having everything ready for us when we arrived in Supermac’s. The food [and especially the ice-cream] helped to ease the pain of defeat. Hopefully the next time we dine there, we’ll be celebrating a victory.

The panel was:

  1. Oisín Holmes
  2. Luke Jordan
  3. Matthew Walsh[captain]
  4. Cian Finch
  5. Darragh Bourke
  6. Luke Hartnett
  7. Michael Landers
  8. Oisín Delaney
  9. Tommie Cusack
  10. Kyle Gow
  11. Peter Ashe
  12. Dylan Barry
  13. Ben Ross
  14. Alex Woodland
  15. Tadhg McElligott
  16. Arran Kinsella
