Leitrim schools celebrate double Connacht Championship success
St Claire's Community School and Carrigallen Vocational School secured Connacht PPS titles yesterday.
St Clare’s of Manorhamilton and Carrigallen Community School claimed Connacht titles this week in the Junior C and Junior E Divisions.
St Clare’s Comprehensive School’s senior team claimed the Connacht Junior C PPS title over Dunmore Community School of Galway yesterday.
The All-Ireland Junior C PPS champions took the title with a 4-11 to 0-14 win in challenging weather conditions in Bekan.
St Clare’s enjoyed All-Ireland colleges success earlier this year with a victory over Ennistymon CBS to lift the Masita All-Ireland PPS Senior C Championship title.
Meanwhile, Carrigallen Vocational School claimed the PPS Junior E Championship yesterday with a victory over Clarin College, Athenry.
The south Leitrim side came out 2-10 to 2-6 victors in a match played on a wet and windy day at the Connacht Centre of Excellence.
The match was preceded by a moment’s silence for Shane Carrigy’s untimely passing as a mark of condolence to the Carrigy family and in memory of Shane's generosity and support of CVS sports teams over the years.
