9 Tom Walsh Memorial Blitz

10 Congratulations to our 1st year hurlers and their coaches Mr Kennealy and Mr Joyce on winning today s blitz. Conditions in

11 the morning were difficult for hurling but some hard fought entertaining games resulted in Good Counsel College facing St. Kierans College in the Final. A close fought contest turned on a great goal from Cian Byrne, named as player of the tournament, with 5 minutes remaining. Dylan Whelan collected the Tom Walsh Cup on behalf of his team mates from former pupil Thomas O Connor who has just signed a new professional contract with Southampton FC. Huge thanks goes to Mr L O Brien, Mr D Wall and Mr PJ Walsh along with the TY and 5th years for organising a wonderful event. Shane O Hanlon from Wexford and Leinster GAA presented the Player of the Tournament award to Cian and O Neill s Sliotars to each player on the winning GCC team.

13 U-16 All Ireland Semi Final Good Counsel College have progressed to the Masita All-Ireland Post Primary Schools Junior Final having overcome Presentation College, Athenry in an enthralling encounter on a score line of 2-17 to 1-17 on Saturday 15th of November. The Semi-Final was originally due to be played in Templemore, Tipperary but due to a waterlogged pitch was moved to the University of Limerick. The artificial surface and dry conditions facilitated a fast free-flowing game of extremely high quality.

14 Good Counsel started slowly in front of their travelling support and found themselves behind early on as Athenry s full forward line were proving very dangerous, in particular the Clarenbridge duo of Mark Kennedy and Evan Niland. The slow start coupled with some wasteful shooting saw Good Counsel trailing 1-7 to 0-2 after fifteen minutes and needing an excellent save from goal keeper, Jack Byrne-Doyle, to keep them in the game. This proved a wake-up call for the New Ross boys as they displayed incredible character and no little skill as they fought back to take control of the game. They started to reduce the deficit with some excellent scores as the forwards began to click and the defence got to grips with the Athenry attack. An excellent individual goal from influential mid-fielder, Thomas O Connor, inspired a period of play which saw Good Counsel dominate the game and go in level at half time 1-9 to 1-9. It was during this period that Athenry also lost a midfielder to a straight red card for a foul on centreforward, Mark O Neill, as he ran at the heart of the defence. The teams exchanged scores early in the second half and after ten minutes the score was 1-12 a-piece. It was the Galway side who then took the initiative briefly and moved into a two point lead which was quickly reduced to one as Luke Sinnott pointed a free following some good work from Jimmy Sutton. The most crucial score of the second half came soon after this as Sinnott won an excellent ball close to the end line, beat his man and finished calmly to the net. The teams again exchanged scores as the game approached the final ten minutes, the pick of the bunch was an excellent point from Good Counsel s Rory Higgins from out on the wing. Good Counsel then had corner back, Richard Hennessy, dismissed for a second bookable offence towards the end of the game but

15 they managed to see the game out as Jim Ryan finished the scoring and sent the New Ross school through to the AllIreland Final where they will face a formidable Middleton C.B.S side next Saturday, November 22nd (Venue TBC). Scorers: Thomas O Connor 1-4, Luke Sinnott 1-3 (0-2f, ), Mark O Neill 0-3, Jim Ryan 0-3, Sam Wall 0-1, Jimmy Sutton, 0-1, Rory Higgins 0-1, Jack Walsh 0-1.

Match report to follow.

16 Tom Walsh Memorial 1st Year Blitz The pitches at GCC yesterday were proof positive of the quality of hurling in the South East corner of Ireland. Teams from Good Counsel College, St Peters, Enniscorthy CBS, De La Salle Waterford, St Kierans and the eventual victors Kilkenny CBS entertained in highly competitive and skilled games in what was described as a festival of hurling. This competition is organised in Memory of the late Tom Walsh, a highly respected Geography teacher in the school who instilled a passion in all sports but most especially hurling. In a fitting final, Kilkenny CBS beat St Kierans by 1 point with the final strike of the ball from a long range free. Thank you to the Leinster Council and Wexford county Board for sponsoring prizes on the day and to Luke O Hanlon, GAA Development Officer, for his support. We thank all of the teachers and students for their sporting competition on the day and look forward to next year already.
