St Flannan’s finish with panache
There was little at stake as both had already qualified for the quarter-finals, but that didn’t prevent the teams from serving up a fiercely-contested tie in heavy underfoot conditions.
Coláiste Iosaef, in only their second year in competition, powered their way to a 0-6 to 0-4 interval advantage, a scoreline that served as a wake-up call to the holders who, thanks to the influential Kieran Neilan and Damien O’Halloran in midfield, went on to claim the second period.
