Write a comment‘Memorable experience, brilliant, excellent,’ just some of the words Niamh, Ashling and Laura used to describe their experiences of playing on the hallowed turf of Pháirc an Chrócaigh on Tuesday 20th July.
The three Bosco girls, Niamh Tumilty, Ashling Fox and Laura Doran were selected to play for their County in an All Ireland Blitz in Croke Park – the first Bosco U16 ladies ever to play there!
The girls played in the tournament opener against Meath and also against Dublin and Monaghan. Down lost out narrowly to Meath but recorded fine wins against the Dubs and the Farney women.
After the tournament the squad had lunch in the corporate suite and then were taken on a tour of GAA Headquarters including the museum and the activity centre and saw the wall of honour depicting Down’s fine All Ireland wins over the years. Alas, the time went too quickly and after that it was time for the bus home North. Maria Fox Girls mentor at the Bosco stated ‘a tremendous day, one that the girls will not forget in a hurry. What a way to cap the end of a hugely successful year for the Bosco U16 girls!’
