A team from Hazelwood College, “Amazing Atoms†including Michael Byrnes, Maire Flanagan and Anita Lucey won the competition with a remarkable performance. They solved all of the problems and puzzles with a perfect score of 75 in a record time.

Hazelwood College 5-7
Colaiste Mhuire Askeaton 1-1
This final took place in Askeaton recently and playing against a very strong breeze the Dromcollogher girls found themselves a goal and a point behind after five minutes.On settling down though, things started to happen and they got into their pattern to open up the game out wide. By half time a goal from Ciara Meaney and two well taken points from Niamh Greaney had them ahead by a point 1-2 to 1-1.
With the breeze, it was all one way traffic in the second half with some great displays from Ciara Meaney, Denise O Connell, Niamh Greaney, Vickie Harnett, Maire Flanagan, Zoe O Connell and Niamh Cagney. The scoring came from from Denise O Donnell (2-1), Martina Curtin (2-0), Vickie Harnett, Ciara Meaney, Aoife Leahy and Niamh Greaney getting a point each. Overall Askeaton played very well in the first half but were unlucky to score only a goal and a point, however the strength and experience of the Hazelwood girls proved to much on the day.
Winning 7 out of the last 8 Clifford Cups proved once again that Hazelwood College are simply the best in Co. Limerick.
