Larkhill Croke Park Victory

Our school team won a famous victory in Croke Park on Tuesday 13th December, when the boys lifted the 'Corn Cumann na nGael' after a great battle against Scoil Neasáin. On what was a bitterly cold day, the team put on its best performance of the year, with a final scoreline of 5:3 to 1:7.
The forwards, where Jordan Leonard was top scorer with 3 goals, worked a number of excellent chances which they took in the first half to lead by 4:3 to 0:3 at half time. In the second half the defence came under huge pressure but the boys, led by Brendan Daly at full-back, held firm to deny Scoil Neasáin time after time. The result was thanks to a huge team effort with every player giving everything he could.
Every boy in the school was there to see the victory - the first since 1987 - and they cheered mightily as captain Eoin Berry lifted the cup at the final whistle. There was also huge support from parents who were very proud of the boys. Special thanks to team managers, Ms. Lynch and Mr. O' Rourke who have worked so hard with the team since early September. Our thanks also to Coach Vinny Whelan and the Whitehall / Colmcille GAA Club for their terrific support.

The squad is: Eoin Berry; Luke Doyle; Jordan Leonard; Corey Sherlock; Fionn McManus; Brendan Daly; James Murphy; Seán Lowry; Gavin Kilkenny; Lee Gannon; Jack Murray; Cian Murphy; Adam Keogh; Jamie Delaney; Patrick Moloney; Dylan O' Connell; Joshua Thorp; Gavin O' Hannigan; Luke Brabazon and Lee Conway.
