Coláiste Ailigh chase All-Ireland final place

Coláiste Ailigh’s Under-20 girls Gaelic football team are looking to create a slice of school history today,

Blaine Mulligan’s Coláiste Ailigh face St Mary’s High School from Midleton in Cork in their All-Ireland semi-final.

A place in the All-Ireland final is the prize on offer for the teams when they clash at Tuam Stadium (throw-in 1pm).

Coláiste Ailigh won the Ulster final when they defeated Thornhill College 6-8 to 2-7 in Strabane.

The star of the show that day was Shannon Ní Chuinneagáin, who scored 2-4, while Laoise Ní Riain bagged two goals and the other goals arrived courtesy of Aoife Ní Chearáin and Áine Ní Fhlannagáin.

Coláiste Ailigh were 2-4 to 0-3 ahead at half-time and pressed on to win.
