Awesome Ó Sé leads Chorca Dhuibhne

Last year’s defeated finalists Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne deservedly beat a brave Tralee CBS side in a keenly contested Corn Uí Mhuirí semi-final at the Dr Crokes Grounds, Killarney yesterday.

PS Chorca Dhuibhne dominated for long periods thanks to the inspirational play of Padraig Ó Se (son of Kerry legend Páidí) at centre-back, Barra Ó Suilleabhain and Eanna Ó Conchuir at midfield and the strong running of Dara Ó Sé on the forty.

PS Chorca Dhuibhne raced into a 0-4 to 0-0 lead inside the opening 11 minutes, thanks to points from Barra Ó Suilleabhain, Micheal Ó Flannura, Tomas Ó Caomhanaigh (free) and wing back Padraig Ó Dubhain. The West Kerry side were denied a goal in the 14th minute when Eanna Reidy turned a Tom Kavanagh piledriver around the post for a ‘45’.
