Rockwell College senior girls secure historic semi-final victory

Rockwell College Hockey team.

Congratulations to the Rockwell College Senior Girls on a fantastic 4-1 victory in the Munster Senior A Inter Cup Semi-Final!

Competing at this level for the first time in the school’s history, the team delivered an exceptional performance, demonstrating outstanding teamwork, communication, and skill. 

It was a true team effort, with four different players finding the net—Suzanne Kerry, Anna O'Donoghue, Juliette Barlow, and Grace Cooney—highlighting the depth and versatility of this talented squad.

Their sharp passing, unwavering determination, and team spirit were evident from start to finish. 

This victory wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support from classmates, teachers, and the wider Rockwell College community.

From the sidelines to the school corridors, the encouragement has been invaluable, lifting the team every step of the way. 

With this win, Rockwell College advances to the final against Scoil Mhuire. Fixture details will be announced soon.

A special thank you to our dedicated coaches John Ryan, Sandra Cahalane, and Meg Muir, whose leadership and guidance have played a crucial role in the team’s success.

Appreciation also goes to Damien Holohan and the catering team, who ensured the girls had a well-earned celebration upon their return—complete with hot chocolates, marshmallows, and treats. As Coach John Ryan put it, “The girls were absolutely buzzing!”
