SOCCER

Our u14 soccer team travelled to Tipp Town to play in the quarter final of the East Munster Cup last Monday. Conditions were ideal on the day as both sides delivered a highly entertaining game that was eagerly contested and produced some scintillating individual performances. Coláiste Mhuire settled quickly into the game and pounced first to open the scoring. As the contest progressed Coláiste Mhuire began to dominate and eventually ran out winners on a 6-2 scoreline. The next outing will be a challenging encounter against Carrick CBS in the semi finals. Best on the day were Darragh Kelly, Eoin Craddock, Danny Slattery, Luke Galvin, Callum Blakeborough, Aaron Hickey, Stephen Maher and Cian Hevey.

GAA

Our u17 hurling team & u15 Gaelic football teams played last week in The Fitzgerald Shield & Sciath Uí Chatháin competitions respectively. Despite some superb performances we succumbed to superior opposition on both days. Gan amhras áfach, beidh laethanta eile againne!

LIT THURLES ATHLETICS
