The team has been in phenomenal form this season, maintaining an undefeated record. Their journey to the All-Ireland stage has seen them overcome strong opposition, including Hazelwood College Dromcollogher, Coláiste Muire Ennis, St. Joseph’s Secondary School Spanish Point, Scoil Mhuire Carrick-On-Suir, and most recently, Presentation Mitchelstown in the Munster Final.

Leading the team on this historic run are twin sisters Isabelle and Olivia O’Brien (Feohanagh-Castlemahon), who captain the side with determination and leadership. Since September, the players have shown remarkable dedication, training twice a week under the guidance of managers Ciara Brosnan and Evan Murphy.
