Last season brought much heartache as many of this team lost the Munster final to the eventual winners of the competition. Spurred on by this defeat but with self-confidence from previous successes at 1st year level, the 37-strong panel began training in September to right the wrongs of 2017.
In the earlier stages of the Munster competition, St. Marys overcame Ennis and St. Augustine’s Dungarvan which set up a meeting with Cashel community college in the Munster final. St. Mary’s defeated Cashel on a scoreline of 3.13 to 2.5 and in doing so were crowned Munster champions. As winners of the Munster final, St. Marys progressed onto the All-Ireland semi-final to play Our Lady and St. Patricks College Knock, Belfast. After a tough encounter the Midleton school won out on a scoreline of 3.9 to 3.5. St. Cuan’s college Ballinasloe, having come through on the opposite side of the competition would be the opponents for the final. Both teams having put up huge scores in their respective campaigns meant that it promised to be an exciting final. St. Marys started well scoring 3 goals in quick succession in the 1st half leaving them ahead by 9 points at the short whistle. St. Cuan’s rallied in the second half but could not impact the lead St. Mary’s had built up. The final score on a historic day in the University of Limerick was 3.17 to 2.9.
