Brogan’s bank on Rebel stars to seal final spot

ST BROGAN’S will field eight members of the Cork All-Ireland Vocational inter county winning team for tomorrow’s schools SAFC semi-final against St Brendan’s (Belmullet) in Lahinch.

Brogan’s have been the dominant school in Cork and Munster at this level over the years but it has not been reflected at national level where they have lost successive semi-finals to Virginia College (Cavan) in 2006 and ‘07.

They last won the All-Ireland title in 2004 and made it a double the same year by taking the hurling crown as well. Saturday’s teams met at the same stage of the competition in 2005 when victory went to the Mayo school.
