Fifth year student and piper, the very talented, Denis Brolan led the panel into the James O’Donoghue Sports Hall to huge applause.
Numerous speeches took place from staff. Mr Stephen Maher introduced each of the 53 boys that made up the panel. Mr O’Donnell welcomed all the guests from the Tipperary County Board, local clubs, parents, and supporters of Thurles CBS.
In the background 1st year student, Tadhg Hassetts highlights the video of the game played proudly. First year Shayann Zaman’s poem was mentioned and thanked. Murtagh Brennan of the Tipperary County Board spoke on behalf of the representatives there and complemented the boys.
Captain Robbie Ryan thanked staff, students, and everyone involved in the latest success. Ms Lloyd read out her latest Harty Cup victory poem, the 2025 version to add to her 2009 and 2015 versions, recalling the boy's journey each year.
Mr Cahill thanked numerous people who supported the panel along their journey over six years in the school. As always on such a special occasion, Ms Ryan Preston and the Music Department entertained the crowd with beautiful songs culminating in Slievenamon to wrap up proceedings.
Days like these don’t come around too often, so the importance of marking it appropriately cannot be overstated in relation to the joy and excitement the victory has brought to so many associated with the school.
