New Ross Vocational College

Return to Sports Page


Soccer was added to the list of college sports in 1994, thanks mainly to the interest of Mr. Dominic Hearn. We have done rather well in the past few years getting to the semi-finals of the Leinster championship on three different occasions. We normally manage to progress from the local group, but are up against colleges with a much bigger student enrolment when we reach the later stages of the competition. Our players usually continue to play the sport with many of the local clubs after they leave school. Paul Rossiter and Richie Fitzgerald both past pupils went on to play with Wexford Youths. Paul captained the Wexford Youths Interleague team to All Ireland Success earlier this year.

We participate in the Leinster Schoolboys Championship in the following age groups:
U13, U14,U15,U16 and U18.
