Brendan’s show their class

CHAMPIONS St. Brendan’s, Killarney reached the knockout stages of the Corn Uí Mhuirí with a comfortable victory over St. Fachtna’s at Cloughduv yesterday.

Superbly led by Gearóid O’Leary at centre-forward and Brian O’Shea at full-forward, the Sem played some great football and would have won with a lot more to spare but for their wides tally that amounted to 12 and two magnificent saves by Skibb netminder Patrick Rossiter.

Defeat for Fachtnas means they must beat Coláiste Chríost Rí in their remaining group game in a fortnight’s time to make the last eight and that will be a tall order as they must play without county minor Dara McEoin, who received a straight red card.
