Shamrocks had five players involved in this successful team: Ollie O’Brien, Shane O’Meara, Alex O’Brien, Jack Whelton and Donal Herlihy who was Captain. On their way to the final they defeated Coláiste Mhuire from Buttevant, Coláiste an Sprioraid Naoimh and Bantry Community School. In a high scoring final there were some great feats including 0-8 from play by Captain Donal Herlihy operating at centre forward. It was an historic day for the School as it was their first success in this competition. The Shamrock Club is delighted and very proud to have such fine representatives in this feat.![]()

BIG DOUBLE FOR SHAMROCKS' DONAL HERLIHY![]()
![]()
Shamrocks' Under 16 dual player Donal Herlihy has hit the headlines early in the 2025 season. He was chosen to captain the Carrigaline Community School Under 16 Hurling Team and led them to capturing County honours recently. Chosen at centre forward he recorded 0-8 from play and surely played a Captain’s part.![]()

Another accolade for this progressive youngster is his inclusion in the Cork Under 16 Football Panel for the 2025 season. To wear your County colours is the ambition of many but only the privilege of a few. We wish Donal further success and no doubt he will do his County proud too.![]()

Donal has been a very keen and progressive player since he first swung a caman in the Shamrock Academy as a 6 year old. Along with his older brothers Fionn and David their combined input to the Club is enormous and a yardstick for others to follow. Tradition always plays a role and it is worth noting that Donal’s Grand Mother and Grand Aunt, Mary and Ettie Hayes were County Medal winners in 1949. They were members of the Shamrock Senior Camogie Team that defeated Blackrock in the County Final played in Cobh. They played their part in bringing the first ever Camogie Senior Title to South-East Cork. The team was captained by the indefatigable Maureen O’Sullivan. No doubt Donal’s parents Ann and John must be very happy too.
Well done to the U10 boys who gave it their all this evening in a wet and muddy challenge match against a very good Bandon side. Great commitment by all, and thanks to Bandon for making the journey 💪☘
