Sem bidding for Hogan heroics

DESPITE topping the roll of honour in Munster Colleges football with 20 senior titles, St Brendan’s have struggled to transfer their provincial dominance onto the national stage.

The famed Kerry college have won the All-Ireland (Hogan Cup) title only twice — in 1969 with a team that included the legendary John O’Keeffe, and in 1992 with a side backboned by another great, Seamus Moynihan.

Two seasons ago they lost to St Pat’s (Dungannon) in the decider and this afternoon they head to Croke Park bidding to end the famine.
