Roscrea bid to avenge 2009 final defeat

THERE is a unique tri-county element to the Roscrea CC team that will take to the field in this afternoon’s All-Ireland Vocational SAHC final in Semple Stadium.

Clubs from Tipperary, Offaly and Laois supply players to a school chasing their first title at this level since 1991.

“It is very unique in the sense that there’s an interest in three counties how we get on,” admitted coach Willie Smith.
