Excitement levels in Balla Secondary School and St Nathy’s in Ballaghaderreen are at fever pitch this week ahead of the All-Ireland Post-Primary Schools Finals next Saturday. 

Mike paid a visit to Balla last week to catch up with Gareth O’Donnell and Adrian Philips from the team management; key players Keith Malone and Liam Glynn; and school principal Teresa Walsh and deputy principal Conor Walsh. 

We also hear from the St Nathy’s camp as team manager Colm Maye and captain Conor Moriarty took a break from preparations to chat to some of the local media.
