Doolan stars in Brendan’s win

St Brendan’s 3-12 Colaiste Choilm 2-9

The skilful 17-year-old Dr Croke’s clubman, one of only two surviving members of last season’s side that lost the decider after a replay, scored seven points and set-up his side’s three goals as St Brendan’s gained mastery over their plucky opponents, whose college was making its re-appearance in the province’s premier football competition after a one year absence.

Doolan’s glittering talents illuminated this opening round of the Corn Ui Mhuiri and he was primarily responsible for St Brendan’s four points lead after the opening quarter.
