Huge congratulations to our very own John Rooney (5th class) and Aaron Denton (4th class) who won the All Ireland Community Games Tag Rugby Competition on 27th August 2023. The event took place in Tyndall College in Co. Carlow for the second time in two years. A huge congratulations goes to Tullow/Grange’s U11 rugby team and mentors also for this wonderful achievement. A very proud moment for all involved! Well done boys!
