Ó Bambaire bags a hat-trick — and so do Corca Dhuibhne

Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne 3-14 De La Salle 3-09

Cork’s Coláiste Chríost Rí did it twice in an eight-year period from 1978-85, while it’s hardly surprising to note that the competition’s record winner, St Brendan’s of Killarney, managed it too, from 1972-74.

Coláiste na Sceilge of Cahersiveen capped a golden era at the start of the millennium by winning three on the bounce and the exclusive club welcomed a new member on Saturday.
