The 2014 Hurling Season is on the Way!

The 2014 Allianz Cumann na mBunscol City hurling leagues will be starting soon. 2013 was our most successful year ever in schools hurling: the school won an incredible quadruple of titles - the City U-13 A (Olo Cup) and Under 11 A championships, the Mayor's Cup and the Leader Cup (County championship). 

Patrickswell N.S. became the first school in the (approx) 100-year history of primary school hurling in Limerick to achieve this  amazing 'quadruple'. It is true to say that no primary school in the County ever had a more successful hurling year! The players who made history were undoubtedly a credit to themselves, their parents, school, club and Parish and they will have a special place in our memory for it (and in record books too!)

Many of last year's players have moved on to secondary school since the summer. For this reason, there will be lots of new lads who will get their chance to shine in 2014. This year's hurling teams will begin the defence of their various  titles in the coming weeks.
