A SCHOOL on Limerick city's northside turned a distinctive shade of sky blue this week.
Students and teachers at Christ the King National School bid Na Piarsaigh the best, with the Caherdavin club aiming for double delight this weekend.
On Saturday, its intermediate football panel will play in the county final in Askeaton against Dromcollogher-Broadford, throw in 3:30pm.
And of course on Sunday, in the senior county hurling decider, Na Piarsaigh face up to old foes Kilmallock at the Tus Gaelic Grounds.
The throw in for this game is 4.15pm, and it's been selected for live broadcast on TG4.
Many of Na Piarsaigh's first team stars attended the school, and there remain strong connections between them and the panel.
Limerick and Na Piarsaigh senior footballer Kieran Daly - who will likely line out in Askeaton - is a teacher at the school.
Emma Casey, the sister of hurling stars Mike and Peter Casey also teaches at the school, while Ciara Finnegan, who is married to the Sky Blues' football selector Brian Hartnett works there.
Tracey Long, the mum of Sean Long, who will play for the hurlers' on Sunday, also works in the school.
And football manager Michael Lynch - whose son Jack is in the school - helps Kieran coach Gaelic in his own free time each Monday.
