Connacht Schools Football Champions 1968

First Galway Connacht Schools Champions 1968. Galway Technical School defeated the hot favourites Summerhill in Sligo. Summerhill had Paul ‘Ski’ Magee, possibly the best youth player in the country at the time. However, not good enough to beat the Galway side, who won by three goals with a hat-trick from Pat ‘Chick’ Colohan. Front from the left: Joe Murphy, Cathal Devlin, Captain Pat ‘Chick’ Colohan, P.J. Brennan and Mikey McDonagh. Back row from left: Mike Long RIP, Willie Browne, Peter Mullally, Tommy Talbot RIP, Pa Connell and Johnny Barrett (photo courtesy of Pa Connell)
