Year 8 Hurling

This year has been very successful for the year eight hurling team at Edmund Rice College.

The year started off with mixed results treading the boards from wins against St Patrick’s Bearnageeha and with a narrow defeat from St Malachy’s College. These games seemed to have improved the boys’ skills.

In June of last year the boys competed in the Ulster Colleges Blitz competition. The Edmund Rice College boys competed in the ‘C competition’ and came out victorious after defeating St Patrick’s in a thrilling final.

All of the 15 players gave 100% with outstanding performances from Michael Mc Givern, Adam Loughran, Joseph Maskey and Jamie White.

In addition to their winning performance this year, Joseph Maskey was awarded a Year 8 College All Star award for his skills in hurling. Well done Joseph, keep it up!
