St. Colmans in Harty Final..

 The Hurlers of St Colmans College are through to the hart Cup Final for the first time since 2003. In a low scoring hard fought semi final at mallow last Saturday Colmans came out on top by a margin of four points, 1  8 to 0 7. They will face red-hot favourites Templemore of Tipperary in the final in two weeks time. Colmans have won the Harty on nine occasions and lost three other finals. The final of 2003 saw St Colmans win a memorable three-in-a row but they have not been in the Final since.  Templemore include three of last years Tipperary All Ireland Minor winning team on their side. They were beaten in last year's Harty Final by Limerick's Ardscoil Ris and previously won the Harty in 1978. There will be a mighty buzz around the College and in all the GAA clubs around the town as we all look forward to the Final.

 SCRAP METAL COLLECTION.

In recent years the Club has undertaken a Scrap metal Collection as part of our ongoing fundraising and it proved very successful. Though the value of scrap metal has dropped dramatically we are conscious that collecting the scrap provides a valuable service for the community. It is planned that we will have a collection at the end of next week so anyone with metal items to be disposed of please ring 087 9538077 before Thursday February the 3rd.
