Having reached the final of the Year 8 Belfast Blitz last May the boys of St.Patrick’s College were eager to get back onto the hurling pitch to go one better this year.  The competition was the 'C' division Ulster Blitz, with the top four teams qualifying for the 'B' competition McGreevy Cup. 

The Boys fought bravely in the Round Robin stage, beating CBS Hightown, Carrickmacross and St.Patrick's Lisburn.  Top placing in the group meant a semi final showdown with St.Columb's Derry. 

Full blooded performances from Liam Campbell and John Mc Goldrick, among others, saw the North Belfast outfit make it over the finish line. 

The Bearnageeha boys went on to meet old rivals CBS Hightown in the final.  The game was in the balance throughout but a fantastic save from St.Patrick’s keeper Niall Dunne inspired the team to knock over a couple of scores and win the final. 

The management would like to congratulate the hurlers of St. Patrick's College for their commitment and hard work this year and last.
