Mini 7s Champions 2023

• 

Well done to the Mini 7s hurling champions for 2023!!

The hurlers qualified for the finals two weeks ago, beating Kilmessan, Kilbride, Kilskyre and Rath Cairn on the way. They first played Dangan and prevailed after a tight battle. They picked up where they started from against Dunboyne and a fine performance put them into the final against Rathbeggan.

They then saved their best performance for last. Scores from Jack, Cillian, Lucas and Sam put them on their way. An excellent performance from goalkeeper Seán ensured they didn't concede any goals in the final and some stout defence from Harry, Jack and Jacob, along with some tenacious work from Brian and Rían ensured the boys from Kildalkey were not to be denied!!

Jack accepted the cup with some well chosen words. A word of thanks to referee John Byrne who said some lovely words about the team and the recently departed Nicky Potterton who would have been very proud of what was on view.

Lastly, after some refreshments in Supermacs, Sam was announced as the player to represent the school and Meath in Croke Park!

Well done to the team, the Mini 7s Champions for 2023!!
