The Notre Dames dominated

If you didn’t get your fill of hurling and football on Sunday afternoon at Cardinal Dougherty, then, well, you must be insatiable.

The day’s games started with a fast-paced hurling match, and the rest of the afternoon was dedicated to football, both men and women. The day’s biggest upset came in the final game of a series between women’s national champs, the Mairead Farrells, and challengers the Notre Dames. The Notre Dames came out on top, 3-14 to 1-10, winning the Philadelphia Senior Champions crown.

We have photos from all but the final game of the day, the men’s Division 1 football matchup between the St. Patricks and the Kevin Barrys. (Wish we had time for all of them, but we were verging on heat stroke.)

Here are all of the final scores:
