The Kerry football powerhouse are on top in Munster once more after their 1-12 to 1-4 success over Cork’s Rochestown College in Mallow this afternoon in the Corn Uí Mhuirí decider.
It ensures St Brendan’s win back-to-back provincial titles, having previously enjoyed that feat in 2016 and 2017, while they lost out at the final stage of the Hogan Cup last year.
They were ahead 0-5 to 0-3 clear at half-time of this game and moved seven clear during the second half. Rochestown College, badly hit by injuries to key personnel, received a boost with a goal from Sean Coakley.
Glenflesk’s John Kelleher scored the goal that clinched success for St Brendan’s with his club-mate Luke Crowley, son of Kerry All-Ireland winner Johnny, the top scorer with 0-5. Alex Hennigan (0-3) and Timmy Moynihan (0-2) were others to make important scoring contributions.

In the Connacht final at the province’s GAA centre of excellence in Bekan, Summerhill College made it a Sligo double on the day. After St Atrracta’s won the B final in the curtain-raiser, Summerhill toasted success in the A final against Galway outfit Claregalway College.
Summerhill trailed 1-5 to 0-4 at half-time but outscored their opponents by 0-12 to 0-4 in the second half to lift this crown for the first time since 2016.
Summerhill landed the first three points of the half to draw level and after Claregalway went back in front, two scores by Ronan Niland left it tied once more at 1-8 to 0-11.
From there the Sligo side won the remainder of the match by 0-5 to 0-1 with Niland pointing the way, while Mark McDaniel and Eli Rooney also raised important white flags.
St Brendan’s and Summerhill College join Naas CBS, yesterday’s Leinster final victors, at the All-Ireland semi-final stage of the Hogan Cup. The MacRory Cup final takes place tomorrow in Ulster, an all-Tyrone affair between Holy Trinity Cookstown and Omagh CBS.
