SENIOR 'C' DUBLIN SCHOOL HURLING CHAMPIONS

Thursday, 22nd October at 12.45 p.m. in O'Toole Park

Terenure College 0-11  Portmarnock CS  0-05

Terenure College had a strong spine to their team. From Cian Keogh in goal who pulled off some fine saves and full-back Paul Devane who was secure and confident, particularly under high balls. Captain Paul Maguire at centre-half back gave a second half display that lay the foundation for a number of scores that were the turning point of the match.

Adam Jermyn showed skill adn pace a mid-field while Colin Brew brought great physical presence to centre-half forward and scored three point. Ronan Sharkey who, after an early injury, moved to full forward added two more points.

Ian Kenny and Ben McEntee also gave great displays in the half-back line. DAvid Megannety, Shane Faughnan and Barry Mullin were very tight in defence while up front James Roche and NIcky Cosgrave were a constant threat.

All those who played did extremely well showiing great skill and heart on a very wet pitch that made ground hurling almost impressive and presented challenges in controlling the ball. The boys rose to these challenges most impressively and ran out winners by 6 points.

Well done to all!

Terenure Scores: Adam Jermyn (0-3), Colin Brew (0-3), Paul Maguire (0-2), Ronan Sharkey (0-2), James Roche (0-1)

FASTEST MAN IN YOUR YEAR ...

BADMINTON ...
The All-Ireland Badminton Finals were held in Gormanston College on Saturday March 28th. It was on outstanding day for us, both for the excitement of close matches and from the standard of our play. In a full day of excitement Terenure College emerged with a first place in Ireland Under 16’s. Also in the Under 14’s Division 1 final our boys came runners-up. The boys put in a lot of extra training to reached this major event.

Our U14a Team Division 1 – Robbie Neill, Niall Reynolds, Paraic Rowan and Conor Doyle won (5-1) against Royal & Prior (Ulster). However, they were unlucky as they were edged out by Friends, Lisburn in the last game. Friends proved a little too strong for them. Second in Ireland! Well done lads! Last year Robbie was on the successful U14 team in the All-Ireland Finals. With one Gold and one silver All-Ireland medals to date– not bad in your second year in the College.

In the U16 Division 1 Section - Adam Jermyn, Graham Doyle, Rory Curry, Jack Lawler and Mark Lavelle entered the competition as Provincial Champions, they beat Carrigaline Community school (Munster) (6 – 0) in the opening match. In the second and final game all players took on Friends (Lisburn). They played excellent games which led the team to glory with a comprehensive (5- 1) win to secure the All-Ireland Title.

Last year Adam, Graham and Rory were runners-up against Friends in the U16’s All-Ireland finals. Adam and Rory have accumulated two Gold and one Silver medals in their four years here in the College, Graham with 2 Gold and one Silver in his three years, Jack and Mark with 2 Gold All-Ireland Medals in their two years. All the players are looking very hopeful for the future.

A big thank you to Margaret Cox, Manager of our Badminton Teams, for all her work throughout the year. Also to our Coaches, Mike Adams and Mark Topping and to Ms. Corinna O’Donoghue and all who worked for this success including parents and teachers.

* Final of Leinster Schools Junior Cup Championship *

Congratulations to our Junior Cup Team on their victory in the Leinster Schools Junior Cup Competition. 

It was a wonderful Cup Season with 8 enthralling Cup Matches. Great skill, lots of good rugby, and impressive strength of character. Memories that will last a long time .. poignant moments of a school community united in grief. The fantastic atmosphere of the Senior Final in the RDS. A wonderfully talented team that gave their all for Terenure, played great matches and made us very proud. A week later a Junior Final with a team that had an extra ordinary commitment to sticking to what is right, to doing what is hard, to keeping on working even when there did not seem to be much hope, when it was not possible to see where hope could come from. The last minute counterattack and try against Belvedere in a match that was lost, the very last minute counterattack and try against Blackrock in a match that was definitely lost, the incredible defence in the 1st half against St. Michaels that could not hold, but did.  For adults it would have been impressive, but for 13, 14 and 15 year olds in was unbelievable. The support at all matches was magnificent with a squad of Cheerleaders who were probably the best and most enthusiastic that we have had for a long time. Supporter who never gave up believing that Yes we can! Joy unconfined in the stand in Donnybrook as the Junior Cup was presented to the College after a 20 year wait. A wonderful season!

Well done to our Senior Cup Team on their wonderful performance in this Year's Leinster Schools Senior Cup Final. There was a fantastic atmosphere on St. Patrick's Day for the Senior Final in the RDS. A wonderfully talented team that gave their all for Terenure, played great matches and made us very proud.
