The Granard schools have worked tirelessly over the past three years to get to this stage and it is a tremendous occasion for the team. 

The schools hurling journey to the final has been nothing short of incredible.

Reaching the final is a huge achievement for the school. It reflects not only the talent of the players, but also their commitment, discipline, and passion for hurling.
