Hurling

Darren Sweetnam (form IV) played a starring role for Cork in the Munster Minor Hurling Championship game against Tipperary on Wednesday 28th April. Darren controlled the midfield area contributing 2 points in a magnificent game which Cork won by 2-31 to 4-22 after extra time.

In doing so Darren becomes the first student from Bandon Grammar to represent Cork in minor hurling. All the more remarkable is that Darren is underage again next year.
