Monday 13th June was a high point for Star of the Sea Boys National School. For the first time since 1999 the ‘Star’ qualified for a Croke Park final.

The opponents, Scoil Olaf of Sandyford pushed the ‘Star’ all the way and, indeed, at one stage looked certain to take the honours as they led three goals to one. However, the boys rallied and forced a draw after normal time, much to the joy of the many supporters in the Hogan Stand.

Extra time saw the ‘Star’ forge ahead for the first time to win by 4 goals and 2 points to 3 goals and one point, ensuring a day that will live long in the memory of all involved in our school community, Comhgairdeas don fhoireann go leir.
