Willie Duggan has been on the Mitchelstown CBS staff since 1982 and, with over 30 years of service in the classroom and in promoting GAA amongst the school’s small student populace, today marks CBS’s biggest day in sport– its inaugural appearance in an All Ireland colleges final.

LIKE many hundreds of St Colman’s fans, I was in Clonmel on Saturday last for the All Ireland Colleges final against St Kieran’s. We were all hoping to see history made as Colman’s strived for a three-in-a-row of Croke Cups.
