Coláiste Wins Another Ulster Title: On Wednesday, May
22nd 2019 the U14 Girls from Coláiste Oiriall added another
Ulster title to the school’s achievements in GAA this year. The
game, against a Gaelscoil from Belfast, was played at the Mid-
Ulster Arena in Cookstown and it was an all-weather pitch, which
put Monaghan at somewhat of a disadvantage, as the Belfast
school are accustomed to playing on that type of surface.
However the Monaghan girls soon adjusted and were able to read
the bounce of the ball and with great leadership from their joint
captains, Holly McQuaid and Scarlett Herron, and their Bainisteoir,
Máire McCague, they were a good match for the opposition. It
was a nail-biting game going from end to end at a very fast pace
but Coláiste Oiriall girls showed their supremacy to the final
whistle with a score of 7 – 8 to 2 - 10. Comhghairdeas le gach
duine a bhí páirteach - na himreoirí, an bhainisteoir, na
tuismitheoirí, agus údaráis na scoile – maith sibh go léir.
