Kirwan inspired High School too hot for Tralee

HIGH School Clonmel, backboned by five members of Tipperary’s All-Ireland minor football winning squad, got their Corn Uí Mhuirí Group C campaign off to a successful start when they defeated Tralee CBS by 2-8 to 0-11 in Newcastle West yesterday afternoon.

With Tom Kirwan giving a fantastic performance from centre-forward — he struck 0-5- the Tipperary school were full value for their victory.

In a tight opening half, an early Diarmuid Ryan goal gave High School Clonmel an early boost but with Niall Sheehy, who kicked 0-5 overall, Sean Moloney and Greg Horan excelling for Tralee CBS, they drew level at 1-3 to 0-6 at the break.
