Cathal & Finn = All-Ireland Champions

A fine display by Broc's two youngest players saw them lift the All-Ireland Schools Championships on Saturday last, thumping Gonzaga 19-3 in the final. Finn was in fine form, with solid throws and strong D as always but it was Tuffy who stole the show with a massive show off aerial prowess and precision throwing. As a reuslt he won the Tom Kendall Medal for player of the tournament.

To cap a fine day they won the Spirit prize too. These lads just don't like the taste of defeat eh? :)

Limerick edging closer...

So, the build up to the Siege is well, building up with training every weekend and friendlies coming thick and fast. A strong 14-2 win against Jabba the Huck last week followed a training session with UCD last Friday. Next week sees the same with more pitch time for us as we get closer to the next big domestic event. Keep an eye on the Training section of the forum for full reports on the various sessions and games.
