Premier achievement: Sarah, 11, reaches peak of Kilimanjaro

AN 11 year old from Tipperary has become the youngest girl to scale Africa’s highest mountain.

Sarah O’Neill, from Bansha, reached the peak of 5,895-metre Mount Kilimanjaro yesterday with her mother Sinead.

The proud Premier county fan said she hoped her feat was an omen for her side against Kilkenny in Sunday’s All-Ireland hurling championship decider.
