Flannan’s do just enough to qualify

ST FLANNAN’S College, Ennis were forced to dig deep against a gallant Intermediate School Killorglin side at a rain-lashed Croagh pitch, before garnering the draw they needed to advance to the knockout stages of this year’s Corn Ui Mhuiri.

St Flannan’s and Killorglin finished level on points, but the Clare side went through because of a superior points difference.

Killorglinled early on 0-4 to 0-2 following points from Niall O’Riordan, Liam Quirke and two well-struck Fergal Hallissey frees.
