Star of the Sea NS completed an excellent victory in today’s 'Blue Insurance' Super League final, played in glorious sunshine at Pembroke Cricket Club. This year’s Super League was a huge success with 11 schools participating and plans are already in place to add several more schools into the competition next year. This competition runs parallel to the Leprechaun Cup, which involves 42 Primary schools in the ‘development’ category. Semi-finals and finals in that competition will take place in the coming weeks. The Fingal Girls cup also took place this week along with the 4th Class Cup.
