Talented young Tipperary men receive sports scholarships
They will be studying at the University of Limerick
Two young men from Tipperary have received sports scholarships to study at the University of Limerick.
Darragh McCarthy and Fionn O’Meara have received sports scholarships to pursue their studies.
Fionn was awarded the sports scholarship based on his performances on the rugby pitch for both Munster Rugby U18 Clubs and the Irish U18 rugby team.
The young man has played rugby around the country and overseas. He also has four international caps for basketball.
Darragh was awarded the scholarship based on his skill on the hurling pitch, captaining St. Joseph's CBS Nenagh to their first U19A Dr. Harty Cup hurling title, his performances with Toomevara GAA and his Man of the Match performance to help Tipperary secure a U20 Munster hurling title over Cork in May.
Congratulating the young men, St Joseph’s CBS Nenagh posted on social media: “Fionn is going on to study the Design and Communication Graphis (DCG) and Engineering teaching course in UL. Darragh is taking the Sport and Exercise Sciences course in UL.
“Best of luck with your studies and sporting careers from us all here at St. Joseph’s CBS Nenagh.”
