Rugby
The Pres Tralee Junior and Senior 7s rugby teams travelled to Ballincollig RFC Thursday 17th October to take part in the South Munster Blitz. Our 26 students played 4 games in each age grade against schools including St. Mary’s Mallow, Coláiste Ide Dingle, Kinsale Community School and Bandon Grammar School. Our Seniors won 4 out of 4 featuring Emma Dunican who was featured on the Munster Women’s Squad last summer. Our Juniors won 3 out of 4. The squads will take part in the Munster X7s Blitz in Rockwell College after mid term.
Camogie
Both our Junior and Senior camogie squads have been busy this term. On September 24th we entered two squads into the South West 7s camogie blitz, held in Causeway GAA. Pres Tralee 1 and Pres Tralee 2 were in separate groups and remained unbeaten throughout the day beating Mounthawk 1 and 2, Causeway 1 and 2 and Pres Castleisland 1 and 2. It was an all Pres Tralee final where both of our ‘Team Tillys’ faced one another. The game ended in a draw 1-1 a piece and Pres Tralee were crowned South West 7 Champions. The Senior squad have played two Kerry Colleges games versus Causeway Comprehensive and Mounthawk, narrowly losing out both games by one point. They won their first round of Munster Intermediate Cup versus Colaiste Ide agus Iosef and will face Ballingarry next. The Junior Camogie squad have been successful in their Kerry Colleges games, defeating Kanturk CS, Pres Castleisland and face Kinsale CS today in their Munster campaign.
