Two sides from same school meet in Tipperary football final - and they couldn't be separated

Clonmel High School 1st year footballers completed the County A double after winning the County A Football Blitz on November 30 in Dr Morris Park, Thurles.

Having already won the County A hurling title in defeating Thurles CBS, this young group marked a magnificent first term in the school by following it up with the football title.

In an unique occasion for the High School, the school entered two teams into the A grade, High School Red and High School Black, and both sides defeated the Abbey CBS and Cashel Community in the group stages to set up a County A final against each other.

In a tense battle between the two High School sides, neither side gave an inch and 30 minutes of football could not separate the sides as they drew on a scoreline of High School Black 2-4 to 1-7 for High School Red.
