St Laurence’s Retain The Shield

They may look like little angels, but St Laurence’s GAA girls took no prisoners today as they defended their Shield title.

The final took place at Bray Emmets GAA club under a fine blue sky, the Greystones girls beating St Cronan’s for the title.

The fact that St Laurence’s had beaten fellow St Kevin’s in a semi-final match dubbed The Battle Of Greystones showed just how strong the young team were again this year.

That was Division 1 sorted. In Division 2, with Kilcoole Primary winning out over St Coen’s Rathnew and St Laurence’s 2 Greystones, in Group A, it was Cónán Daye’s Scoil na Coroine Mhuire Ashford who overcame strong opposition in Greystones Educate Together and St Patrick’s Wicklow Town.

At least, that’s what we think happened. Hard to follow this sports mumbo-jumbo at the best of times.

Congrats to the St Laurence’s team, and to Kilcoole Primary. Not that bothered about Cónán Daye’s Scoil na Coroine Mhuire Ashford, if we’re being honest. Mainly because the name’s so frickin’ hard to write.
