We were delighted to welcome the Ballyduff County Minor Hurling Champions 2021 and their management team to our school recently.

These boys played their hearts out on County Final Day and we are very proud of them. The county final was played at Austin Stack Park, Tralee on 12th Sept. and they defeated St. Brendan’s, Ardfert on a score line of 0.23 to 0.10. The backroom team was John Hennessy. Mikey Boyle, Padraig Harrington and William Quinlan.

Mikey Boyle spoke about the commitment and dedication of his team and how proud he was of them. Teacher, Maurice O’ Connor, spoke eloquently about the superb performance of the team in the final and of the pride of parish which the team had instilled in the people of Ballyduff.

It was our pleasure to welcome back 8 of our former pupils who were part of the winning team: Seán O’ Sullivan, Luke Kennelly, Jack Enright, Adam Segal, Tommy O’Grady, Evan Boyle, Adam Lynch and Aodhán Curley.

Baile Dubh Abú!
