Gallery: St Mary's celebrate Corn Herald victory in Cumann na mBunscol finals at Croke Park
to claim their ninth success in the prestigious competition. The Herald Cup was first presented in 1938 for premier division schools hurling in Dublin. This year, three Dublin hurlers, Brendan Kenny, Conal Ó Riain and Diarmaid Ó Dúlaing - all former Cumann na mBunscol players - were present in Croke Park at the finals, to present Corn Herald to St Mary's captain Charlie Fox, who was playing in his third premier decider. St Mary's are managed by teacher Don O'Neill who hails from Tipperary, with the Ballyboden clubman also a valuable member of Niall Ó Ceallacháin's Dublin senior hurler backroom team.

Thrills galore as Wicklow Cumann na mBunscol holds annual sports day
Wicklow People Today at 03:30 Wednesday saw schools from all over Wicklow take part in the Allianz Cumann na mBunscol Sports Day in Charlesland Sports and Recreation Park in Greystones – and the competition for prizes got underway in no time! The day began with a parade around the track, with each school displaying their banner, wearing their school's colours with pride, and singing Amhrán na bhFiann. The best-turned-out school was Greystones Educate Together, and they received the inaugural Ó Broin Cup from its namesake, Ciarán Byrne, who gave many years of service to not only the promotion of Gaelic games in PSs in Wicklow, but also on a national level when he served as National PRO of Cumann na mBunscol.
