Bunscoil Mhuire boys played Blarney on Thursday 28th May in Páirc Uí Rinn in the Sciath Na Scol Hurling Final. Bunscoil started the game very nervously and had 6 wides in the first 10mins to Blarney's 2 points but Bunscoil keep going and got a great goal by Cian O'Sullivan thereby going 1 point up. Blarney then hit a purple patch and scored 3 points without reply going in at half time 5 points to Bunscoil's 1 goal.

Bunscoil knew they were in a fight and had to play their best hurling of the year to win this one and so they upped it a gear with Captain Jake O'Brien getting 1-01, Aaron Cramer 1 point to Blarney’s 1 point with all players playing very well. However Blarney showed their resolve and hit back with great shot on goal and great save by Bunscoil keeper Alan Carter but they scored from the rebound to go a point up again. This time it was Bunscoil’s turn to come again and Jake O'Brien drew the game with a fine point ensuring 5mins extra time aside had to be played. Blarney struck first with a point and were still 1 point up going into the second half but Jake stepped up again to score 2 unanswered points to win the game for Bunscoil 2.05 Blarney 1.07.

Allianz Sciath Na Scol Football Finals 2014

​ Bunscoil Mhuire enjoyed further Sciath na Scol success in 2014 to add to the hurling victory in May, when they played GS Na Dúglaise on Thursday 6th November in Páirc Uí Chaoimh in the Sciath Na Scol Football Final, in what can only be described as terrible wet conditions. All Bunscoil players played very well in the final, but a special mention must go to Wisdom Sobo who played very well in goals, Nathan Day and Ian Fitzgerald (capt) who were excellent throughout the final and of course the 3 goal hero Conor O Neill who’s goals made all the difference. Well done to all players, teachers & to John Bulman
