All Ireland Minor Football Cup comes to PRES

The College had the honour this week to welcome 5th Year student, Patrick Campbell, back to the school with the Tom Markham Cup, won on September 8th last by the Cork Minor Football team after a titanic struggle with Galway in the All Ireland Minor Football Final. Patrick was accompanied on the day by his Cork manager, Bobbie O’Dwyer, Cork GAA Director of Football, Conor Counihan, and Cork GAA Games Development Officer, Paudie O’Brien. The group were presented to a large gathering of senior students and staff in the Dan Donovan Theatre, where teacher Enda O’Regan spoke about the huge sacrifices needed to be made to pull off such a magnificent achievement like this, and how it had relevance to all aspects of our lives.
