Munster joy for dogged Rochestown

ROCHESTOWN COLLEGE claimed the Munster Colleges U16BFC title yesterday after they defeated Tralee’s Mercy Mounthawk in a thrilling Corn na gColaisti final at Knocknagree yesterday.

Goals from Cathal Cormac, Gary Hartnett and Mark Dolan proved the difference in this entertaining decider. Though the plaudits for the win may rest with the goalscorers, inspirational performances from centre-back Alan O’Donovan, midfielder Andrew Murphy and wing forward Olan Allen proved crucial to the outcome.

Tralee midfielder Jack Barry and full forward Cillian Fitzgerald impressed but ultimately the Kerry side came up short.
