Sciath na Scol!

On Thursday 23rd May, Clonpriest N.S. won their section of the Boys Sciath na Scol Finals in Páirc Uí Rinn, by beating Mayfield with a scoreline of 2-3 to 1-1. It was dry overhead, but ground conditions were not good, with plenty of water and mud to be seen on the pitch. Nevertheless, our team played with great heart and commitment, and should have been well on top at half time, but had only scored 1-1. However, in the second half they picked off two points, and scored a second goal, to secure victory for Gortroe. History was made on this particular occasion, as this is the first Clonpriest Sciath na Scol team to win both hurling and football in the same year. So well done to all concerned and especially Séan Harnedy, who gave so much of his time to this team.
Our girls Sciath na Scol team also reached their final, but unfortunately were beaten.
Our colourful supporters enjoy the games.
