Cumann na mBunscol

Hard luck to the school football team who lost out to Tralee CBS yesterday evening in the Cumann na mBunscol Final.

The Mon found themselves a few points adrift at half time having played into a very strong breeze but they rallied after half-time to bring it back to a 2point game.

The team performed heroically and battled to the very end of the match but on the day their efforts came up just short of an excellent CBS side.

Well done to all involved and thanks to John for his help in training the team.

Pictured above are students, Peter O’Shea, Neil O’Shea and Cian McMahon with their Grandfather Paddy “Bomber” O’Shea who captained the school team in 1948, all proud Mon Men!!

And here is the pic of that 1948 team with the Bomber middle row and centre…
