A veritable phalanx of politicians were on hand for the recent final of the inaugural Halverstown Cup for schools cricket played at Halverstown Cricket Club's grounds in Brannockstown,
writes Brian Byrne.
They included Minister for Sport Catherine Martin TD, Minister of State for Agriculture Martin Heydon TD, Senator Vincent Martin, and Cllr Tracey O'Dwyer. They were accompanied by the Fine Gael candidate in the upcoming European Parliament elections, Nina Carberry.
As
reported earlier, the match was won by the cricketers from Two Mile House NS, who beat Scoil Mhuire Ballymore Eustace 97 runs to 93. This followed
several weeks of cricket coaching in six primary schools in the area, and two rounds of group games to select the finalists. The other schools were Scoil Bhride Kilcullen, Brannoxtown CNS, Newbridge Educate Together, and St Joseph's Halverstown.
