Macroom seeking revenge over Saints

IN the opening round of the Corn Uí Mhuirí in October, St Brendan’s crushed champions DLS Macroom by 4-13 to 0-7 and few gave them any chance of figuring in the knock-out stages.

School principal Noel Dunne cited fatigue and a loss of all but three of the winning team for his side’s poor showing that day in Rathmore. However, Macroom have defied all the odds to make it back to the semi-final tomorrow against the same opposition in Knocknagree (2pm).

Macroom will obviously go into the game as underdogs, but can take great heart from their splendid turnaround in fortunes.
