Following their dramatic victory over Kerry in the Munster U-21 football
final we were delighted to welcome manager Pat Nugent, midfielders Michael Walsh
and Seán Dempsey, and goalkeeper David Hickey to the school. The players
brought along the Easter Cup ( Munster cup) and despite a hectic schedule they
visited all the classrooms.
One of the stars of the team was our past pupil Edmond Rockett. Edmond
captained the U-10 footballers to
victory in 1993, and won U-13 football and hurling medals with the school.
Our visitors were very interested to find the "young" Edmond among the
pictures which hang in the school.
Well done to Edmond and all the U-21 footballers.
A special thanks to Miss Quinlan an avid football supporter who was responsible
for the visit. Another connection with the footballers.......Miss
O'Loughlin's brother came on as substitute in the final.
