Douglas get vital draw to make history

Douglas Community School 0-12 St Colman’s, Fermoy 1-9

The eventual draw was sufficient to earn them an automatic place in the knock-out stages in a thrilling game played out on an excellent pitch at St Vincent’s grounds.

At half time it appeared as if Douglas had it all wrapped up thanks to a sterling display from midfielder Paddy White who was involved in everything and ended up with three points to his credit. All over the field they were in control, with David O’Connor and Eoin Cadogan starring in defence and the forwards all looking dangerous, and centre-forward Mark Harrington involved in an exciting duel with the Fermoy centre-back, Eamon Condon.
