Douglas and Criost Rí in battle for prestige

WITH both schools safely through to the knock-out stages after Christmas, tomorrow’s Irish Examiner Corn Uí Mhuirí clash between Douglas CS and Coláiste Chriost Rí at Bishopstown (1.30 pm) is purely to determine who tops the group.

There’s a certain amount of prestige attached to the game also as Douglas endeavour to climb out of the shadow of their more illustrious opponents.

Both schools beat St Fachtnas in earlier rounds, Douglas by six points as to five for Criost Rí and in many people’s eyes that might make the former favourites. However, when it comes to tradition and experience, the Capwell school have both in abundance.
