Causeway to test resolve of Canavan’s Holy Trinity

PETER CANAVAN and his Tyrone manager Micky Harte will put their National Football League final preparations on hold to concentrate all their energies on their respective schools who will be involved in All-Ireland finals on Sunday.

Canavan will take Holy Trinity College Crookstown to O’Moore Park, Portlaoise where they will play Causeway CS in the All-Ireland vocational schools “A” SFC final (3.30 pm), while the curtain-raiser will see Harte’s St Ciarans (Ballygawley) take on Tullow CS (Carlow) in the junior final (1.30 pm).

Causeway have never won this particular grade title before having been beaten in the 2001 final by Clara (Offaly). That was the year of the Foot and Mouth epidemic which curtailed activity for weeks.
