The girl’s team were edged out of the gold medal position by a single point but also qualified for the Connaught Championship in Claremorris. In Claremorris both teams performed heroically. The boys claimed the silver medal and the girls finished fourth. Jason Gilmartin crowned a great day for the school by winning the gold medal in the individual event. Two super - fit teams then turned their attention to the hurling and camogie championships. Both teams brushed aside all opposition and qualified for the finals in Ransboro. The girls retained their title by defeating old rivals, Cloonacool while the boys, by beating Rathlee, became the first school to win the competition three years in a row.
