The reception took place on Thursday, January 16 in the Laois County Council chamber where players and their parents alongside the team coaches, Pat Critchley and John Scully.
Back in March, Scoil Chríost Rí were crowned post-primary senior A champions for the first time in the history after a nail-biting thriller against Loreto Clonmel.
