The Dublin Cumann na mBunscol hurling finals took place in Croke Park on Monday, and one youngster went and stole the bloody show.
The school was Gaelscoil Uí Earcáin, their star was young Tadhg Ó Gormáin.
Gaelscoil Uí Earcáin claimed a 10-19 to 4-7 victory over St Josephs’ Fairview in their Sciath Pádraig Mac Giolla Bhearraigh decider in GAA HQ.
The talk was all about one player, however, and that was the Dublin school’s dynamite attacker Ó Gormáin.
Ó Gormáin has marked himself out as a potential future star of Dublin hurling as he racked up a whopping 4-15 in the 50 minutes of play.
That means Ó Gormáin was troubling the scoreboard more than once every two minutes.
Joe Canning, TJ Reid, Seamie Callanan and any other of Ireland’s sharpshooting hurlers won’t have even come near the 4-15 totalled by the phenomenal youngster.
For the majority of forwards, scoring a single point or a goal will keep them happy. For Ó Gormáin to score four goals and fifteen points, he must be something special.
What a beast.
The Cumann na mBunscol primary school GAA competitions are one of the most anticipated and enjoyed games by primary school children around Ireland.
It’s the beauty of youth, the players are young, they are exuberant and they have absolutely nothing holding them back.
We all remember our days playing hurling or football with our primary school. We line up as nine, ten, eleven or twelve-year-olds beside our classmates, our friends.

It’s where many first fall in love with the GAA. There’s the sheer and utter excitement of getting off school, there’s the nervous anticipation on the bus to the games.
If you emerge victorious, you will return to your school as a hero.
Well Gaelscoil Uí Earcáin, and Ó Gormáin, in particular, were surely given the most rapturous homecoming of all.
