Staff at Tipperary school remain undefeated in annual student vs teacher soccer match

Staff team

The staff remain undefeated for the 208th year. Final score was 2.1 in favour of the teachers. A Louis Coughlan own goal put the staff in front. Mr Woodlock followed up with a second shortly after.

The students hit the post through Mikey Carroll and eventually got a goal back through Mikie Lawlor. Mr Downey rattled the crossbar late on with a great effort.

The students pushed Frankie Butler upfield for one last ditch effort to tie the game but they couldn't break down the staff defence.
