Cistercian Roscrea enjoying life at the summit of Leinster

Insideat coelis animo sed corpore terris — Let the mind be in heaven while the body dwells upon the earth. CC Roscrea Motto

Philosophy is a subject that always exercised the minds of monks. The school motto at Cistercian College, Roscrea pays homage to their founding fathers and this Sunday, their minds could be in heaven once more while their bodies dwell upon the RDS pitch.

A year on from their breakthrough victory in the Leinster Senior Cup, CC Roscrea are back to defend their title. In a repeat of last year’s final, they will again meet Belvedere. If their success in 2015 seemed too good to be true, they no longer need to pinch themselves.
