On Wednesday the 25th of May, Clareen NS completed an historic treble after the girls won the Caomogie division A final against Shinrone on a scoreline of 6-6 to 2-6. Clareen were joined with Drumcullen girls, and the Shinrone team consisted of both Clonlisk and Shinrone national schools. It was a tough game with Clareen/Drumcullen managing to ensure the victory.

This finished a superb year for the school in the world of the GAA, These 3 wins accompanied the girls having already won the indoor camogie competition from earlier on in the year.
