TY student at the school Keelan Kelly from the Padraig Pearses club captained Roscommon while Ballinasloe’s Charlie Killeen, a sixth year student, had the honour of leading out the Tribesmen.

“On this occasion the Rossies took the spoils. Congratulations to both lads, we're very proud of your achievements,” said the Garbally College in a social media post.
