There is another club in St. Benildus apart from the one which plays in the senior leagues, the junior club which is quite active and competes in the Leinster schools leagues is also an important facet of the club and many juniors progress to play on the adult teams.
The continued participation and sucess of the school in these competitions has been mainly due to the trojan work done by teacher Frank Scott over the last twenty years.
Benildus is always on of the strongest schools in Leinster and it is without doubt that if it were not for Mr. Scott this would not be the case all the student owe him a great debt of gratitude.

News:
