Trim student at Croke Park launch

Rachel Troy from Scoil Mhuire, Trim was in Croke Park today representing her school at the launch of the Lidl-sponsored All-Ireland Post Primary Schools football finals.

Scoil Mhuire will be in action in the All-Ireland C decider against Coláiste Bhaile Chláir, Claregalway in the curtainraiser at Kinnegad on Saturday, 1pm.

“For all of these players, this is the culmination of a long journey to Lidl Post Primary Schools All-Ireland final day," commented Ladies Gaelic Football Association President Marie Hickey.

“To line out in an All-Ireland final is a privilege that many players have never experienced and for those who have made it here, it’s the chance to grasp this opportunity with both hands," she added.

There will be six finals, three senior and three junior, over the next two weekends.

The senior A final takes centre stage next Saturday and it’s an all-Loreto affair.

Loreto from Clonmel were senior B runners-up last year and have progressed to the senior A decider at Kinnegad where they’ll face Loreto from Cavan (3pm).

At the same venue, Coláiste Bhaile Chláir from Claregalway in Galway take on Scoil Mhuire from Trim for the senior C title (1pm), in the first game
