McCashin Shield Winners
Sacred Heart P.S. Dundrum became the inaugural winners of the McCashin Shield at today’s tournament in Tadgh Barry Memorial Park, Ballykinlar.
The competition saw eight local schools come together to play in a 7-a-side format.
Sacred Heart P.S. defeated St Francis P.S. Drumaroad, St Caolan’s P.S. Darragh Cross and St Mary’s P.S. Killyleagh to top their group unbeaten.
St Joseph’s P.S. Tyrella, the hosts, also topped their group that included St Mary’s P.S. Dunsford, St Michael’s P.S. Finnis and Christ the King P.S. Drumaness.
The final pitted two schools from the same parish against each other. After a titanic battle, refereed by Down senior team manager Conor Laverty, Sacred Heart P.S. emerged victors over St Joseph’s P.S. Tyrella by the slenderest of margins to capture the McCashin Shield.
Well done to the panel that included captain Kasey, Cara, Ronan, Christopher, Beth, Daniel, Emily and Charlie!
