TIPPERARY POST PRIMARY BLITZ
On Friday, May 2nd Dr. Morris Park, Thurles hosted a feast of Tipperary Ladies Football as Post Primary Schools from all over the County competed in an U15 Blitz. Loreto Clonmel, Ursuline Thurles and St. Anne’s Tipperary Town all competed in the A Competition. Cashel Community School, St. Ailbe’s Tipperary Town, Our Lady’s Templemore, Scoil Ruain Killenaule, Rockwell College and Presentation Ballingarry competed in the B Competition. The A Competition provided some tough games in the early rounds with the Ursuline Thurles defeating Cashel Community School in the Semi-Final. St. Anne’s Tipperary Town awaited in the final but proved too strong for the Ursuline, running out winners of the A competition. Afterwards, the Cup was presented by Tommie Campbell, Tipperary Ladies Football Chairman to Emer Quirke, St. Anne’s School Captain.
In the B Competition Semi Finals, Rockwell College defeated Our Lady’s School Templemore while Scoil Ruain Killenaule secured a narrow victory over local rivals Presentation Ballingarry.
A very entertaining final followed only to see Rockwell College and Scoil Ruain Killenaule finish level. Sudden death point scoring attempts were required to separate the teams with Rockwell coming out on top. In his speech while presenting the Cup to Laura Morrissey, Rockwell College captain Tommie Campbell, Chairman thanked all schools for competing and to the teams in the B Competition for providing such an entertaining finish to the day. The Chairman expressed his wish that all schools would return on May 16th to Rockwell College for the Under 14 Tipperary Ladies Football Post Primary Blitz.
