Therese O’Connell is the Principal of Crusheen National School and let us know about how students from senior infants to 6th class in Crusheen celebrated their back to school mass last Thursday by singing my Lovely Rose of Clare. After seeing the Clare team singing this song in the dressing room with the Liam McCarthy cup the children wanted to learn this song and include it in the school mass. Therese spoke about how the kids in the area have been inspired by the Clare hurlers and wanted to record this song as a celebration of their achievements.
