St. Cronan’s retain the Credit Union Cup

Body: 

The final primary school hurling blitz of the year took place in Ballinakill on Thursday 3rd May. The Credit Union Cup was the prize on offer for the 10 participating teams. St Cronans 1 & 2, St Pats 1 & 2, Kilcoole, Newtownmountkennedy, Aughrim, St Kevin’s, St Laurence’s and Scoil Chualann were the teams participating.  The games were filled with great skill and all games played in a very sporting manner.  In Group A, Kilcoole and St Cronans 1 played a very exciting playoff with St Cronans winning and qualifying for the final. In the other group Aughrim qualified for the decider.  After a thrilling final, St Cronans 1 were victorious and retained the Credit Union Cup against a brave and talented Aughrim side.  Many thanks to all schools who have supported our blitzes this year. A final word of gratitude to Johnny Tallon and Philip Campion for their help in organising an excellent day of hurling!
