All-Ireland cups visit Coláiste Mhuire Co-Ed in Thurles

Students and staff were in for a treat recently at Coláiste Mhuire Co-Ed as a number of GAA winning cups made their way to the Dome.

We are fortunate to have members of staff who are panelists on winning Tipperary Camogie teams this year.

Ms Emma Carey & Ms Sarah Madden were part of the League-winning senior team that defeated Galway while Ms Aoife O’Brien was part of the Tipperary Junior team that defeated Laois in Croke Park in the All-Ireland Final.

Staff member Mr Paddy Stapleton was a selector with the Munster winning u20 team and brought with him the JJ Keneally Cup. Former Coláiste Mhuire Co-Ed student Eoin Craddock played in that Munster Final against Cork and is currently working in our school on placement.

Finally, Tipperary minor hurling-winning captain and Sixth-Year Student Cathal O’Reilly brought in the u17 John Doyle Munster Cup & All-Ireland Irish Press Cup.

Two other students Dillon Cotter and Oscar Caffrey were also recognised on their fantastic achievements on being u17 and u15 captains for Tipp this year in Gaelic football.

Coláiste Mhuire Co-Ed are immensely proud of all. Maith sibh agus rath as saothar!
