Its always great to welcome back past pupils but even more exciting when they arrive through the doors with an armful of cups. Thanks to past students Seamus Flanagan and Padraig Ahern who called to the school with the All-Ireland and Munster Cups that they won in 2017 as part of the Limerick U21 Hurling team.
Hazelwood College U15 Final Spot Secured in Terrific ‘Troy Test
Hazelwood College 2-13
Castletroy College 3-7
Last Wednesday, Hazelwood College U15 team faced off against the mighty Castletroy College in the U15 Limerick Colleges’ Semi Final. In the eleventh minute, a Tristan Sheerin goal laid down a marker of Hazelwood’s determination to progress to the final. Hazelwood built on this with seven unanswered points, including four frees by David Boyce. After the restart Castletroy managed, through Diarmuid Hegarty and Ronan Lyons to take 3-1 in a purple patch for Castletroy, leaving just two points in the difference. Despite a concerted Castletroy siege on Hazelwood’s goal line, Hazelwood were able to take important points from centre forward, Ciaran O’Sullivan and a long range free by Conor Shanahan, which ultimately secured their passage to the final.

On a cold Monday the ladies of the Hazelwood College Senior Camogie team set out on what they knew would be a very challenging Camogie Semi-Final match against Laurel Hill Secondary School, Limerick. The girls knew it would take such determination and team effort to beat Laurel Hill, but that did not faze them.
The Hazelwood side started off a great game, despite the harsh cold weather, by scoring the first point of the match. Laurel Hill came back moments later to score a goal but that didn’t throw the Hazelwood ladies off. The game went on and Hazelwood ladies were leading by one point at half time.
As the second half began the Hazelwood ladies got right back into the game and started pouring in the points ahead of Laurel Hill. The girls had a great finish to the game by beating Laurel Hill by nine points on a score line 3-11 to 2-5. This was a great win for the ladies who are now through to the Limerick A Division final.
***N.B.***
The Final itself will take place this Saturday 17th December in Dromcollogher at 12.00, all support greatly appreciated.
