Thurles CBS have added the Croke Cup to the Harty Cup to their trophy cabinet.
The Tipp school had a point to spare over Presentation College of Athenry in the All-Ireland Senior A schools hurling final in Croke Park where it finished 24 points to 2-17.
Thurles were 8 points down at one point but fought back strongly
Tipp FM match analyst Cian Treacy says there were fantastic performances right across the CBS team
“What heart, great determination – everything you want in a team.
“Eight points down – everything going against them in that second half and just to show the resilience, the character, the patience, the wherewithal to come back.
“One of the great, great days – probably the greatest day for Thurles CBS. Heroes all over the field and this is just magnificent for the school, for the town of Thurles and surrounding clubs. And what an advertisement for underage hurling. What a Croke Cup final but on the day Thurles CBS – character, guts, heart and its everything you want in a hurling team.”
