100 or so pupils from St Brigids PS, Gaelscoil Eadain Mhor, St Anns P.S, Bunscoil Colmcille and Hollybush PS took part in a league format of games in the morning session before the top two in each section took part in their groups finals.
For the girls final St Brigids P.S, Carnhill came out winners against a very strong Bunscoil Colmcille team, the match actually went into extra time and then into first score was the winner as neither team would give up too easily on the chance to be lift the Roisin McFadden shield.
The boys final, competing for the Peggy Mellon shield, was a very competitve match with boys teams having players from the Na Magha club. It was a hard fought game with some great skill on display and Hollybush P.S came out eventual winners against Bunscoil Colmcille who was represented in both finals.
Presenations were made by Sean Mellon of the Na Magha club who highlighted the importance of children being given the chance to represent their schools and play such a skillful game. Many thanks go to the Na Magha club for all their help on the day with refereeing and presentations. It is hoped that this will now be an annual event.
