Doolan the driving-force as Brendan’s beat plucky Macroom
The ability of the St. Brendan’s forwards to score goals was the principle difference between the sides but had James O’Leary scored from a penalty midway through the second half while playing with the aid of the strong wind, this game could have turned out very differently.
The miss – O’Leary blazed wide – came at a stage in the game when the defending champions were two goals down – 2-8 to 0-8 – but they had Brendan’s pinned in their own half, and had huge momentum going having kicked four points without reply.
