2024 marks 25 years since a historic achievement by the club. In Féile na nGael 1999 we reigned supreme over all of Ireland in the famed U-14 A hurling competition.
The campaign got off to a brilliant start when we beat hot favourites Clarecastle in Clare Féile out in Crusheen. This set us up to travel to Ballinadaggin Co. Wexford to take part in Féile for the 2nd year in a row, having been beaten narrowly in a semi-final the previous year.
In our group matches we beat our hosts Duffry Rovers by 5-4 to 0-3, Carrick Swans of Tipperary by 7-10 to 0-5 & Ferns St. Aidan’s of Wexford by 7-11 to 0-2. In the semi-final we beat St. Brigid’s of Castleknock in Dublin by 2-11 to 0-1. In the final, we beat the famed Glen Rovers from Cork in the final by 3-11 to 0-3.
