Corcoran’s heroics seal six-in-a-row for Bandon

GOALKEEPER Brian Corcoran embellished a growing reputation for saving vital penalty strokes as Bandon Grammar School claimed their sixth Munster Senior Schoolboys Cup in succession in dramatic fashion at Garryduff yesterday.

Corcoran had saved two in a shootout for his club in an Irish Junior Cup win at Mossley in November, and the imposing netminder thwarted three Ashton efforts as an engrossing final went the distance.

BGS had shown admirable resilience to come from behind at the death in both normal and extra time, helping the west Cork school claim an unprecedented double, following their annexing of the senior girls’ cup last month.
