SCOIL Chríost Rí have qualified for the All-Ireland U-14 ‘A’ Cup semi-final following a clean sweep of wins at the recent cup tournament.
The Laois girls had a terrific overtime win against Oranmore Galway in the opening game and followed up with commanding wins over Pres Kilkenny and The Teresian Dublin to win the tournament.
Most of the team are first year students which bodes well for the First Year Championships and for their future years at the school.
The team showed great character, resilience, skill and teamwork throughout the tournament.
They now look forward to an All-Ireland semi-final against Malahide Community School in March.
Meanwhile, SCR first year ‘A’ and second year ‘A’ teams have made a great start to the Regional Championships with both teams unbeaten after wins against Tullamore College, Sacred Heart Tullamore and Meanscoil Mhuire Longford.
