Double chasing Causeway on crest of a wave

IT may have gone unnoticed by most people outside the county, but an All-Ireland hurling championship title found its way to Kerry last weekend when Causeway Comprehensive School collected the Vocational junior title in style.

That victory gave the school back-to-back national titles in the grade, and with their seniors hot on the trail of provincial honours this afternoon against Hazelwood College, Dromcollogher in Abbeyfeale, it’s fair to say hurling is thriving in North Kerry.

In a county where football is a religion, the heroics of Causeway is a great sense of satisfaction for those few diehards promoting hurling.
