There was a sea of blue and white in Mount St. Michael’s Primary School, Randalstown on Friday as pupils and staff took part in a special ‘Club Colours Day’ to show their support for the Tír na nÓg Senior Hurlers ahead of Saturday’s Antrim Intermediate Hurling Championship Final against Oisins Glenariffe in Loughgiel (2.30pm throw-in).
Children proudly donned their club colours, with a few brave Creggan fans sneaking in their green and yellow! The atmosphere was buzzing as the school came together to celebrate their local heroes and wish them well ahead of the big day. Principal Mr. Paudie Shivers spoke to the children about the pride that comes from being part of their local club, and how much joy and belonging the GAA brings to the community. He highlighted the inspiring journey of Mr. Sean Duffin, current Tír na nÓg and former Antrim hurler, who is teaching in the school and how he started his hurling journey in Mount St. Michael’s now finds himself preparing for a county final.
The school was delighted to welcome Nicky Bonnes, Chairman of Tír na nÓg, who thanked the children and staff for their tremendous support and encouragement for the team ahead of the final. As part of the celebrations, the school also held a colouring competition, with fantastic prizes kindly sponsored by Martin Hurls and Senior Hurler, Emmett Martin.
Mount St. Michael’s PS would like to wish Sean, Emmett, and the entire Tír na nÓg panel and management team the very best of luck in Saturday’s County Final – Tír na nÓg Abú!
