Five-star Holmes leads Coláiste Mhuire to hurling glory!

Congratulations to Coláiste Mhuire, Ballygar, who claimed the Connacht Junior ‘C’ Hurling Championship last Friday with a very impressive 8-15 to 2-10 win over Colaíste Chroí Mhuire an Spidéal in Carnmore.

Four first-half goals from Harry Holmes (the first a wonderful solo effort) helped the Ballygar school into a 4-6 to 1-7 half-time lead.

Holmes continued his oneman demolition job in the second as he netted for the fifth time before a fine sole run by Harry O’Sullivan finished with him finding the net. Further goals followed for a rampant Coláiste Mhuire side as David Mannion and Cian Downey raised green flags to put the gloss on a memorable win. game is clashing with the men’s match but we just have to get on with it,” Lennon concluded.

Best on the day for the Seamus O’Kelly and Jonathan Waldron-managed side were Harry O’Sullivan, Cian Downey, Eoghan Naughton, David Mannion, Cathal Maloney, Rory Coyle, and man of the match Harry Holmes.
