Hazelwood College’s Under 16½ hurlers got their U16½ Munster Championship campaign off to a winning start with a comprehensive victory over CBS Tramore recently. Hazelwood started well with a Stephen Coughlan goal, with points from Colin O’Brien, Luke Ryan, Dylan Hayes Daly and Damien Burke. Midway through the first half, Tramore settled, racking up several points and a goal. This was met with a sustained Hazelwood fight back, capped off before half time with a goal each by Coughlan and Hayes Daly, leaving the half-time score at 3-10 to 1-5.
After the restart, Hazelwood goals from Cian Magner Flynn and Dean Collins, with points supplied by Brian Buckley, opened a gap between the teams which Tramore were unable to bridge, despite their valiant efforts. Hazelwood College emerged with a commanding lead of 8-18 to 4-10.

Historic Characters Day

Historic Characters Day


By Keith Coughlan Transition Year

In Hazelwood College, on Thursday 16 October, the Transition Year Programme students brought history to life by becoming their favourite historic figure, under the direction of their teacher Mr Finn.

Everyone in the class dressed up as an historic character they admired. Notable figures included Albert Einstein, Princess Diana, Florence Nightingale, Henri Dunant and many, many more from a variety of backgrounds and eras. The scholars pulled out all the stops and many other students and staff commented on the great work.

The work the students put into the project was, without doubt, a great way to honour our historic heroes, who paved the way for our success today.

Picture 1 is of the Transition Year 1 class who brought some of the personalities they had studied as part of their History studies to life by dressing up as their heroes.

Hazelwood College 5-11
Colaiste Ioseaf Kilmallock 0-01

Hazelwood College first year hurlers recorded back to back wins against St. Munchins College and Kilmallock this month, securing a successful start to the County Limerick First Year Colleges’ Competition. Hazelwood benefited from the accurate free taking of Michael Barrett on both matches, while the defence, led by Jack Walsh did very well clearing each and every attack from the Kilmallock players. The tight, competitive marking of the Hazelwood defenders really provided the platform for success, leading to scores from Jamie O’ Connor who scored 2-3 on the day. Hazelwood went through a purple patch midway through the second half meaning the match was over as a contest. Owen Finn wasn’t really tested in goals but did come to the rescue when Colaiste Ioseaf were awarded a close in free with 10 minutes to go. Other with very impressive displays on the day were James Molyneaux, Ben O’ Connor and Josh Moran.
