Carnacaville Hurlers Attend Blitz in Downpatrick

22nd Jan 2026

On Wednesday 14th January, our Primary 6 and 7 hurlers took part in an indoor hurling blitz at Lecale Trinity, Downpatrick.

The children competed against six other schools and delivered an excellent performance throughout the day. They worked well as a team, demonstrating great skill, determination and tactical awareness. The team narrowly missed out on a place in the next round, but their effort and sportsmanship was impressive.

This was a particularly notable achievement as it was only the third time hurling has been competed in at school level, making the performance even more commendable.

Well done to all pupils involved. Our panel players were:

Harry Flynn

Lewis Gribben

Ollie McGuirk

Ryan Rafferty

Matthew Murphy

Ollie Wright

Finlay Murphy

Archie Brannigan

Daniel Gribben

A fantastic display of hurling and teamwork — we look forward to seeing their continued progress.
