Cross and Passion College Senior camogie captain, Finvola McVeigh and Mentor Úna Kelly pictured with Maria Mulholland, mother of Shane Mulholland, at the presentation of their new jersey.
The Senior team chose The Shane Mulholland Foundation as their nominated Charity for their camogie strip. Shane would have been 30 on the 1st January this year. His mother Maria thanked the girls for highlighting the work of the foundation, which helps to promote and encourage the playing of gaelic games at juvenile level in the Ulster counties.
Finvola explained, ‘we have been supported by the foundation when we got to the All-Ireland Final last year with our Junior Camogie team, and the girls wanted ‘to give something back’. We hope that we will promote the work of the Shane Mulholland Foundation throughout Ulster and indeed the whole of Ireland, as we progress to the All- Ireland Semi Finals against Presentation College,Thurles.”
The number 30 on the jersey is significant as Shane would have celebrated his 30th birthday on New Year’s Day. Maria had a foot in both camps on Sunday as Shane and his brother Turlough went to St Louis Grammar while her daughter Leah is currently a pupil at Cross & Passion College.
