What a proud day for our school🏆💛💙
We were delighted to welcome back past pupils Conor and Graham, joined by their Clare teammates Ronan and Pádraig, following their fantastic victory in the U20 All-Ireland Hurling Final.
The players proudly brought along both the All-Ireland Cup and the Munster Cup, giving our pupils a chance to see these incredible trophies up close.
During a special school assembly, our students had the opportunity to ask the players questions about their journey and experiences, including:
🏑 How do you deal with nerves before a big game?
🏑 Who is the hardest player to mark in training?
🏑 Who inspired you to become a better player on the pitch?
The answers shared were inspiring and highlighted the importance of hard work, teamwork, resilience, and believing in yourself.
A huge thank you to Conor, Graham, Ronan and Pádraig for taking the time to visit and inspire the next generation. We are incredibly proud of your achievements and wish you every success in the future. ... See MoreSee Less
