St Brendan’s (Killarney) 2-14
St Flannan’s (Ennis) 0-5
ST BRENDAN’S CRUISED into the Munster colleges Corn Uí Mhuirí final with a comfortable last four victory over St Flannan’s in Rathkeale this afternoon.
After ending the reign of title holders PS Chorca Dhuibhne in the last round, St Brendan’s issued another strong statement of their credentials with this success.
Victory puts St Brendan’s into their first final since 2012 and the competition specialists will now aim to land the school’s 20th crown and first since 2010 in the final.
The foundations for this victory were firmly set in the opening-half as St Brendan’s were ahead by 14 points at the interval.
David Shaw struck their first goal in the 15th minute to propel St Brendan’s into a 1-6 to 0-0 lead and the second goal arrived courtesy of Mikey Casey in first-half injury-time.
Casey and Lee O’Donoghue were in good form as well for St Brendan’s when it came to notching points in an impressive first-half showing.
St Brendan’s were in front 2-9 to 0-1 at the break but despite playing against the wind in the second-half, they did not squander their winning position.
Scores were harder to come by for the Killarney outfit but they still outscored their opponents 0-5 to 0-4 in the second-half to run out victors.
At his age it’s a clever thing to do, he’ll be 31 by the time his contract runs out. Take a nice hefty signing fee from Juve and spend your last 2/3 seasons in Turin before retirement. Bad bit of business by Spurs though.
@David Lawlor: better not get injured before Christmas. That will be in his mind and impact on his performance. Little tweaks and he will cry off.
@David Lawlor: it’s a release clause, if he won’t sign a contract what you expect them to do
Fair chance he’s looking to run down his contract, I guess
@Kevin Ryan: Then Juve will swoop in for the free transfer. Lovely jubbly!
Absolutely nuts how nobody went for him. It was a no brianer for Solskjaer or even Emery to go in for him.
@Patsy Mongan: Would have also weakened a rival in Spurs who dont have the cash to sign a replacement of equal quality.
@PΛÐÐY ЯOOПΣY: dont have the cash? Do you not follow the news.. spurs are loaded
Woodward hang your head in shame
Will go to juve for free and a big payday next summer
There is a good possibility he could end up at Ajax too, said he wants to finish his career there.
