What are the odds? Kilkenny students celebrate super rare coincidence
Kilkenny College recently celebrated a remarkable coincidence as the captains of the school's senior rugby and hockey teams all turned 18 on the same day
There were triple celebrations at Kilkenny College earlier this week as three of the school's captains marked a very special milestone together.
Kyle Handcock, Harry Clarke and Poppy Williams have plenty in common as captains of three of the college's senior sports teams, but it turns out the talented trio also share the exact same birthday.
All three celebrated their 18th birthdays on Wednesday, November 11, a coincidence that caught the attention of the school's Applied Maths department.
Kyle is captain of the Boys' Hockey 1st XI, Harry leads the Boys' Rugby 1st XV, while Poppy captains the Girls' Hockey 1st XI.
“Our three marquee team captains share a leadership role, but what sets this trio apart is that they also share a birthday,” the college said.
“Happy birthday from everyone at Kilkenny College. We wish you all the very best on this special milestone!”
