They were also 4-11 to 4-9 winners over the Armagh school in the Junior B semi-final and should the seniors get the measure of Trim, they will chase a second crown seven days later against St. Brigid’s Secondary School, Killarney on Saturday, 21st April.
The senior finals were originally scheduled for mid-March but the recent weather cancelling sporting events in Ireland has led to them being delayed a month. But dates are now known for all participating schools and times and venues will be known closer to the time.
