Soccer

Our u15 team recorded an a resounding victory in a very closely fought contest at Castlemeadows to progress to the quarter final stages of the Munster finals. Nenagh College proved to be formidable opposition and sides were deadlocked at half time. Chances were created by both teams but with ten minutes left on the clock Lee Ferncombe scored the winner to record a memorable win.

The 1st year soccer squad also enjoyed a superb 2-1 win over St. Ailbe’s College to qualify from their group stages and progress to the provincial stages of the competition. Goalscorers on the day were Luke Molumby and Audie Lohan.

Rugby

The u17  Rugby team of Coláiste Mhuire tavelled to UL (University Limerick) where they played St. Ailbe’s and Cashel Community College in the group stages of their county blitz. Our students got off to a flying start with a comprehensive victory over Cashel but in their second match succumbed to a  well drilled Cashel side by three points. Despite not qualifying from the group stages, the experience will stand to our players for upcoming competitions in the new year.
