Críost Rí upset fancied Tralee

COLÁISTE CHRÍOST RÍ upset the title ambitions of a highly rated Tralee CBS side in a magnificent Corn Uí Mhuirí semi-final at Knocknagree yesterday to set up an unexpected final against Pobalscoil Chorcha Dhuibhne on March 6.

It was a typically wholehearted Cork/Kerry affair with the sides level on seven occasions until substitute Jason Philpott edged Críost Rí in front in the 50th minute and they remained there to the finish.

There were many heroes for Críost Rí, full-forward Luke Connolly absolutely magnificent despite being marked by three different Tralee players.
