Next, they triumphed over Ulster’s Coleraine Grammar Secondary School with a score of 5-1.
The last team to face the Presentation girls was Connacht’s St Nathy’s Secondary School, Roscommon. Without doubt the Pres girls saved the best until last with a superb 6-0 victory over St.Nathy’s.
It is 23 years since any Tipperary school has won this competition and it is the school’s first All-Ireland badminton title.
