Two best friends who share a unique connection to two survivors of the Lusitania disaster are set to play a key role in the centenary commemorations.

Garbally College 19 Summerhill College Sligo 18: A masterful kicking display from Simon Keller, a first-half try from Michael O’Neill and some incredible last ditch defending in a frenetic finale saw Garbally College end their eight year wait for the Top Oil Connacht Schools Senior Cup title at the expense of a gallant and talented Summerhill College of Sligo.

They were best friends who set sail together from Queenstown, Co Cork, in 1911, hoping to build a new life in America.
